Organisation

The Sector Committee of the Federal Authorities consists of six permanent members and six substitutes, including:

• three external members;
• three Commission members.

In principle, the Committee meets at the Commission's offices monthly. It has drawn up rules of procedure.

The Committee's President is in charge of daily management and chairs the meetings. He makes sure that the Committee's decisions do not contradict the Commission's position in general. That is why he can suspend a Committee case and submit it to the Commission.

One of the Commission's civil servants is in charge of the secretarial work for the Committee.

The Federal Public Service for Information and Communication Technologies (FEDICT) gives legal and technical advice to the Sector Committee of the Federal Authorities about every request for authorization of the electronic disclosure of data by a federal public service or a public authority with legal personality included in the federal authorities. As provided for by law, the Federal Public Service acts as managing body.

The Committee draws up an annual activity report.
