At the EuroGOOS Annual meeting on 23 November 2012, it was agreed to start the process of creating a new EuroGOOS International Non-Profit Organisation, under Belgian Law. Several EuroGOOS members have already signed the founding declaration, and the new organisation, officially known as EuroGOOS AISBL (Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif), will be established in Brussels as of February 2013.
The meeting said goodbye to Hans Dahlin who has been the EuroGOOS Director for the past 11 years and who will now retire. Kostas Nittis shall take over as the EuroGOOS AISBL Secretary General.
