Europump today
Europump, or as its present full name defines it: Association Européenne des Constructeurs de Pompes, counts today 18 members being the national associations of pump manufacturers, in some countries also sales companies, in just as many European countries. The member associations represent more than 450 enterprises with a collective annual production worth about 6 billion Euros.
Having had its seat in London for many years, the General Secretariat was transferred to Brussels in 1992 in order to bring the heart of the association as close as possible to the corridors of decision power in the EU.
As from 1993 Europump has the formal status of International Association under Belgian Law.
The General Assembly can be said to be the parliament of Europump and the Executive Council its government. The council members - company presidents, managing directors and other CEO's - are elected delegates of their national associations. The President is the head of the Council, the work of which is administrated byt the General Secretary and his staff.
The commissions and their sub-groups are the bodies where the various issues dealt with by the Council are investigated, worked upon and prepared for decision by the Council.
