The Presidential Committee (PC)

The Presidential Committee (PC) is a joint corporate body of CEN and CENELEC. It manages and administers activities with respect to non-sector specific matters of common interest to both associations, including matters subject to common administration and to common policy. Issues dealt with by the PC extend to membership, relations with the European Union, relations with societal stakeholder organisations, international cooperation activities, common communication and visibility activities, linking standardization with research and innovation and the optimization of resources.

In 2023, the PC was composed of the two President of CEN and CENELEC (Stefano Calzolari and Wolfgang Niedziella), the three Vice Presidents of CEN (Annika Andreasen, Geraldine Larking, and Olivier Peyrat), the three Vice Presidents of CENELEC (Ewa Zielinska, Karl-Heinz Mayer, and Frédéric Vaillant) and the CEN and CENELEC Director General (Elena Santiago Cid).

The PC meets regularly – at least twice per year – and reports to the respective Administrative Boards of CEN and CENELEC.

The Presidential Committee is the only joint body in the governance of CEN and CENELEC.
