Article 32 Set up and Transitional Provisions

A constitutional meeting of the Council shall be called by the host country as soon as possible but no later than forty-five calendar days after the Commission decision to set up JIV-ERIC enters into force.

The host country shall notify the founding Members of any specific urgent legal action that needs to be taken on behalf of JIV-ERIC before the constitutional meeting is held. Unless a founding Member objects within five working days after being notified, the legal action shall be carried out by a person duly authorised by the host state.

Until the establishment of JIV-ERIC, the current JIVE Board and JIVE director shall continue to act as the legal representative of the Dutch Foundation. The JIV-ERIC Executive Director shall be mandated by both the JIVE Board and the JIV-ERIC Council to determine the course of action during the JIVE transitional phase from a Dutch Foundation into a JIV-ERIC.
