European Environment and Health Ministerial Board
EUR/RC63/7 Rev.1 page 29 III. European Environment and Health Ministerial Board 15. The European Environment and Health Ministerial Board (EHMB) is the political face and the driving force of international policies in the field of environment and health, and it stands at the core of the European Environment and Health Process as agreed at the Fifth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health in 2010. As such, the EHMB has the following specific roles: to put the European environment and health process into a broad public health and environment agenda; to review and propose policy directions and strategic priorities; to advocate for further development of environment and health policies; to identify financial opportunities that would enable implementation where resources are lacking; to reach out to other sectors and stakeholders; and to collaborate closely with the European Environment and Health Task Force (EHTF). Present membership 16. The EHMB consist of eight ministers and their high-level alternates: four members from the health sector are elected by the WHO Regional Committee for Europe, and four from the environment sector by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s Committee on Environmental Policy (UNECE CEP), in a way that ensures geographical representation of all parts of the WHO European Region and equal representation of the two sectors. Other members of EHMB include the WHO Regional Director for Europe, the Executive Secretary of UNECE, the Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Regional Office for Europe, and a representative of the European Commission. The EHMB meets once or twice a year, and the WHO Regional Office for Europe serves as its secretariat. Term of office 17. All four seats reserved for the health sector in EHMB will become vacant when the term of office of the member designated by France, Malta, Serbia and Slovenia expire in 2013. It will be proposed that the Regional Committee consider a future schedule of elections to the EHMB according to which not all EHMB members would be elected in the same year in order to ensure the continuity of the work of EHMB. It is therefore proposed in 2013, two seats are filled for a two year period (2014–2015) and two seats are exceptionally filled for a three year period (2014–2016). In the future, all seats would be filled in for a two year period only. Nominations 18. The following nominations were received at the Regional Office by 15 March 2013, and curricula vitae in standard format are contained in pages 31 to 32.
