Organisation of Voluntary Agreement. Each Signatory to the Voluntary Agreement as well as the European Commission shall have the right to nominate one person to represent it at the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee shall elect, from amongst its members, a Chair. The Chair shall be responsible for convening the Steering Committee at regular intervals (and at least twice every Reporting Period) and for running such meetings of the Steering Committee. The Chair shall, however, have no executive or representative function unless this is delegated to them by the Steering Committee. Meetings of the Steering Committee shall be open to named members and any person representing a Signatory or potential signatory to the Voluntary Agreement, as well as to any representatives of the European Commission or Member States, as well as member states of the EEA or EFTA, and any other person who wishes to attend and who the Steering Committee believes represents a legitimate stakeholder. The Steering Committee will seek to achieve agreement by consensus at all times. If consensus cannot be achieved, the Steering Committee may reach a decision in accordance with the Voting Procedures. The Steering Committee may decide to develop and adopt further rules of procedure where it deems it necessary and may decide to delegate powers where it deems it to be necessary to specific individuals or to sub-committees.
