Membership
The Authority is led by a college of three members, one from each country. Unlike the European Commission, the members of the Authority are recruited from administrative positions with little political history. The body is appointed by common accord between the three countries for a four-year term period and a majority vote. The President is selected from among the college members every two years. Below the college is a staff of sixty officials divided into four divisions. The official language is English, though communication in any EEA language is accepted.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
