The Board of Directors is the governing and representative body of the Chamber, and it consists of a maximum of 22 members.

On the Ordinary Meeting held 2nd<\/sup> May 2017\u00a0the current Board convened the elections to renew its composition, opening the period for the presentation of candidates until Friday, 19th May 2017. Any member that fulfil the requirements set out in Article 42 of the Statutes can submit themselves for election as members of the Executive Committee.<\/p>\n

ARTICLE 42.-<\/strong>\u00a0Members of the Board of Directors must meet the following criteria:<\/p>\n
