         Having regard to Decision No 235/2008/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2008 establishing the European Statistical Governance Advisory Board (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
         Having regard to the opinion of the European Commission,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     By its Decision of 18 December 2017 (2), the Council appointed three members of the European Statistical Governance Advisory Board (the ‘Board’) for a term of office of three years from 1 February 2018.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Following the resignation of one member before the end of his term of office, the Council, by means of Decision of 19 December 2019 (3), appointed a new member of the Board for a term of office of three years.
