Two candidates were nominated for the post of Commissioner for Youth, Sport and Culture. Following presentations and the casting of ballots, Ms Joanna Pouponneau was elected.
The treasurer of CEPS Mr Steve Thelermont presented the Implementation Plan 2016. Members identified the need to discuss the plan in detail, in order to draft a road map. Therefore it was agreed that a session be scheduled outside of the EGM for that purpose.
