The Open Administration Consortium of Catalonia (AOC) will take a step forward in improving its governance, incorporating independent members into their governing bodiesThis decision follows the recommendations of the Administration Reform Group (CETRA) and has become effective with the recent modification of the AOC statutes.
On June 25, the Executive Council of the Generalitat of Catalonia ratified the modification of articles 7 and 11.1 of the AOC statutes. These changes expand the scope of action of the AOC and empower the Generalitat to appoint independent representatives of the General Council.
What exactly changes?
Currently, the General Council of the AOC is made up of twenty members: twelve representatives of the Generalitat of Catalonia and eight from the Localret Consortium. With the modification of article 11.1, the Generalitat of Catalonia will be able to appoint two independent membersThis measure is implemented following the guidelines of CETRA, which seeks to improve the governance of public entities by providing external perspectives and additional expertise.
In addition, the amendment to Article 7 expands the scope of action of the AOC.
