EGI is structured so internal almost identical to EAJ-PNV, being an autonomous organization within the party, but its members are affiliated between 16 and 30 years.
The organization is assembly and works on three levels: municipal, regional or territorial and national levels. The first one was inaugurated on July 14, 1894 in the old town of Bilbao, one year before the formal establishment as the PNV party. Today there are over 200 batzokis.
The executive body of the party, "Aberri Batzorde", is composed of the secretaries of the regional councils and various burukides (council members) endorsed by the national assembly from those elected by the territorial assemblies. The regional councils are composed of the heads of each valley or area and that are shared work areas and the secretariat. Las ejecutivas tienen mandato por dos años.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
