The President’s report on activities in 2022-2025 was also approved, and the Executive Committee meeting scheduled for 3 June 2025 in Geneva, on the sidelines of the 113th International Labour Conference, was mandated to rule on and settle all other matters that had not been settled. These include the Treasurer’s (ANPE Niger) and Auditor’s (PNPE Gabon) reports; the definitive fixing of an amount for the annual membership fee; and the appointment of the other members of the Executive Committee, among others.
