Transparent decision-making
We publish decisions of our governing body (our Administrative Board) on our website after its meetings conclude. The Administrative Board meets three times a year – in the spring, the summer and the autumn. We also publish minutes of the meetings.
Decisions and minutes of EMSA’s Administrative Board
Rules of procedure of our Administrative Board
One of the tasks of the Administrative Board is to adopt EMSA's Single Programming Document, covering a three-year period, and within its competence in the framework of the budgetary procedure, the budget, and the establishment plan (human resources). When the Single Programming Document (the SPD) is approved by the Administrative Board in its autumn meeting, it is published on our website.
The Administrative Board also adopts and assesses the Consolidated Annual Activity Report of the Agency, as requested by the Financial Regulation, on the achievement of objectives and performance output relating to the principles of cost-effectiveness, efficiency and sound financial management. We also publish the Consolidated Annual Activity Report on our website once it’s adopted.
In addition, we publish a simplified, user-friendly version of both the Single Programming Document (the EMSA Outlook) and the Consolidated Annual Activity Report (the EMSA Annual Report) every year, shortly after the adoption of both source documents.
The Administrative Board also approves the five-year strategy of the Agency. This document decides the roadmap for each five-year period, detailing EMSA’s main aims, objectives, and milestones.
