ADDENDUM

to Regulation (EC) No 1922/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December
2006 establishing a European Institute for Gender Equality

(Official Journal of the European Union L 403 of 30 December 2006)

The following statement is added to the Regulation:

‘STATEMENT BY THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COMMISSION

Equality between men and women is a fundamental principle of the European Union. The Council, European
Parliament and the European Commission aim to increase the awareness, the pooling of resources and the
exchange of experience in the area of gender equality, in particular through the establishment of a European
Institute for Gender Equality.

With regard to the organisation of the Institute, the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission
state that the management structure, and in particular the number of representatives of the Member States on
the Management Board, is determined by reference to the specific nature of the European Institute for Gender
Equality and does not therefore constitute a precedent for other agencies in the future.

In order to ensure an orderly rotation of the members appointed by the Council, the Member States shall be
divided into three groups of nine in the order of the forthcoming Presidencies. For the first term of office, the
Council representatives shall be composed of members drawn from the first two groups of Member States; for
the second term of office, the Council representatives shall be drawn from the third and first groups and for
the third term of office from the second and third groups, and so on for subsequent terms of office (1). In the
event of any future enlargement the rotation system will be adjusted accordingly.’
