1. legal basis<\/h4>\n

FISB’s activities are governed by the statutes adopted by resolution of the Congress.<\/p>\n

The rules of procedure regulate the activities of the Executive Committee and management on the basis of existing law and the FISB Articles of Association. They take into account the principles of FISB and are binding for all honorary activities. <\/p>\n

2. levels of decision-making and action<\/h4>\n

The decision-making and action levels within FISB are allocated to the Executive Board in accordance with the Articles of Association.<\/p>\n

The Executive Committee (Executive Committee) is responsible for defining the member objectives and has a supervisory function. It implements the objectives and resolutions of the members. <\/p>\n

3. office<\/h4>\n

The FISB has its office at the address of the current Secretary General, where all documents relating to the Association’s business are to be kept. It is also the delivery address for the Executive Committee and for all matters relating to the association. <\/p>\n

4 Tasks and duties of the Executive Committee<\/h4>\n

The Executive Committee conducts its business in compliance with the provisions of the law, the Articles of Association, the resolutions of the FISB Congress and the Business and Financial Regulations. In doing so, it must be guided by the objectives set out in the Articles of Association. <\/p>\n

The FISB Presidium is divided into an Executive Presidium and a General Presidium. It is made up of the members listed in the Articles of Association \u00a7 19 Para. 1. <\/p>\n

The Executive Committee discusses and decides on all FISB matters.<\/p>\n

The management and administration of FISB is the responsibility of the Executive Committee, chaired by the President, who is replaced by one of the Vice Presidents or the Secretary General if he is unable to attend.<\/p>\n

5. meetings of the Executive Committee<\/h4>\n

Decisions for which the Executive Committee is responsible are made in closed Executive Committee meetings. The invitation to these meetings must be sent out in good time by the President, stating the agenda and, if necessary, enclosing information and draft resolutions <\/p>\n

Resolutions of the Executive Committee that cannot be postponed are submitted in writing. In such cases, approval can be accepted if no response to the contrary is received within a sufficient and expressly specified period of time. <\/p>\n

The President chairs the meetings of the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n

Executive Committee resolutions are passed by a simple majority of the Executive Committee members present. In the event of a tied vote, a motion is rejected. <\/p>\n

The FISB Executive Presidium shall constitute a quorum if all its members have been duly invited and five of them are present. If, in exceptional cases, fewer than five Executive Presidium members are present despite a proper invitation, the FISB President has the right to convene a new Presidium meeting, which can take place on the same day, subject to a one-hour waiting period. At this Executive Committee meeting, the presence of three Executive Committee members is sufficient to pass a resolution. <\/p>\n

Minutes of the Executive Committee meetings are drawn up by the Secretary General. They are subject to an objection period of 4 weeks and are then deemed to have been approved. The original minutes are kept in the General Secretariat. <\/p>\n
