Le nomine devono garantire nella misura del possibile una rappresentanza equilibrata dei vari settori, interessi e regioni dell’Unione e di genere. L’articolo 4, paragrafo 5, della decisione dispone che i membri siano nominati fino al 31 ottobre 2019. A norma dell’articolo 4, paragrafo 6, della decisione, i membri che si dimettono possono essere sostituiti per il resto del loro mandato. |
