Federal Executive Committee of Alliance 90/The Greens
The Federal Executive Committee of Alliance 90/The Greens (often also referred to as the Federal Executive Committee of the Greens) (German: Bundesvorstand von Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) leads the party Alliance 90/The Greens in Germany.[1] It implements the decisions of the Federal Delegates' Conference (party conference) and the Federal Council and also adopts its own decisions on important political issues.[2] The Federal Executive Committee convenes the Federal Delegates' Conference.
Composition
Members
According to the federal statutes of the Greens[1] the following members belong to the Federal Executive Committee, who are elected every two years by the Federal Delegates' Conference:[1]
- the two federal chairpersons,
- the Federal Political Director,
- the Federal Treasurer,
- the two deputy federal chairpersons.
Compared to the executive boards of other parties such as the CDU/CSU , and SPD, the Green Party's federal executive board, with its six members, is relatively small and thus more akin to a party presidium . Its work is advised by the party council, which, however, consists of 16 members and therefore more closely resembles a typical party executive board.
The Federal Delegates' Conference elects from among the members of the Federal Executive Committee a spokesperson for women's policy (who must be a woman), a spokesperson for diversity policy, and a European and international coordinator.[1]
Women's quota
According to the statutes, the Federal Executive Committee may consist of no more than two members of the Bundestag, a Landtag, or the European Parliament. Membership on the Federal Executive Committee is generally incompatible with the following offices: Chair of a parliamentary group in the Bundestag, chair of a state parliament, chair of the parliamentary group in the European Parliament, member of the Federal Government, member of a state government, member of the European Commission.[1]
