Approval minutes General Assembly of 12 April 2014, Stockholm, Sweden The minutes of the 2014 General Assembly were approved as a true record of the meeting. 3. General report by the Secretary General, P-A. Abrahamsson On behalf of the EAU Board and Executive, the Secretary General expressed gratitude for an excellent Scientific Congress Programme for the meeting, both to the Scientific Congress Office under the chairmanship of Arnulf Stenzl and the Video Congress Committee under the chairmanship of Aurel Messas. He also thanked all of the office chairs and offices for their input, not only for the scientific programme but also for their work over the last year, and additionally thanked the EAU Staff for their work. Prof. Abrahamsson noted that at the end of the meeting Prof. Chapple, Sheffield (UK) would be introduced as the new Secretary General, and that during the assembly the election of the Adjunct Secretary General responsible for Science would take place. 4. Report by the EAU Treasurer and Audit Committee, M. Wirth The treasurer reported that the costs related to the EAU Offices and other activities totaled € 5.712.720. The revenues were € 4.061.547, leaving the association with a negative result of -/- € 1.651.173. The total costs of the 2014 EAU meetings were € 9.022.127 and the revenues added up to € 14.780.771, resulting in a profit of € 5.758.644. The costs related to the EAU programmes were € 14.734.847 and the total revenues added up to € 18.842.318, leaving a financial result of € 4.107.471. The EAU assets as of 31 December 2014 were € 65.206.102. The statistics showed an increase, however the future cannot be foreseen and interest rates are low which makes it more difficult to make money out of investments; therefore more has been invested in bonds. The Treasurer showed the compilation reports from the different auditors. General Assembly - March 2016 9 The presentation of the Treasurer was concluded by requesting the General Assembly to discharge the EAU Executive Committee and the Executive Management for the policy implemented in the preceding financial year (2014) and this was agreed by the General Assembly. The Treasurer proposed keeping the membership fee unchanged: € 120 per year for Active members. However, from 2016 € 25,- will be charged when ordering the printed version of European Urology Today to cover a part of the postage costs. 5. Specific reports on the EAU Offices by the EAU Executive 5.1Prof. Wirth reports on the Offices related to Communication being: - History Office -Publications History Office The History Office – chaired by Dirk Schultheiss – was making preparations for the “World Congress”, to be held in conjunction with the 31st Annual Congress in Munich, 2016. Additionally, they had organized a Historical Exhibition named “Revolutionizing Urology” and a Thematic Session titled “Hispanic Urological Tales” for the 2015 congress. They had published the 22nd Volume of “De Historia Urologiae Europaeae”. The 2015 congress gift was written by Dr. Mattelaer et al and was titled “30 Milestones in Urology”. Moreover the History Office was continuing to work on the research project “Urology under the Swastika”, and planned to launch the website “The European Museum of Urology” (history.uroweb.org) in 2015. Publications The Editor-in-Chief, James Catto, and the entire editorial team were given credit for helping European Urology become the top ranking Journal in the field of Urology & Nephrology and all general Surgical Journals, with an Impact Factor of 12.480, which is the highest IF according to ISI Thompson. There were over 1 million PDF downloads in 2014, more than 1.5 million visits to the newly updated website, over 7,000 Facebook followers, and over 5,600 followers on Twitter. European Urology also has apps available for iPhone, iPad and Android. Prof. Wirth noted that European Urology now consists of EUFocus, EUPatient and EUSupplements. European Urology Today offers 5 issues per year and is mailed out to members and can be downloaded from Uroweb. Alongside this, EUT offers 3 issues at the Annual EAU Congress. This Congress News edition is produced on-site by the EAU Communication Office. 10 General Assembly - March 2016 With regard to online communication, the EAU website (www.uroweb.org) had been redesigned and contained the latest information on EAU activities such as daily updates, Education Online, CME-accredited education online and the EAU Guidelines. The new website is now also accessible via tablet and smartphone, can be personalized so items of interest can be saved in a personal library, and there is now better integration of news, events and education. The weekly “EAU newsletter” provides updates on all EAU news and announcements in one format. The digital newsletter is provided to all EAU members and affiliates by e-mail. Subscription management is done via Uroweb and all members were urged to contribute to the newsletter by sending their comments and/or suggestions to newsletter@uroweb.org. Urosource is the single largest knowledge base available in the field of urology with over 50,000 items of scientific content. It contains meeting resources, surgical videos, e-courses, Guidelines, articles from European Urology, and has advanced access for members. Prof. Wirth also showed other social media where EAU is active, such as Facebook and Twitter. The Patient Information project had been extended again and now offers 3 new topics: Kidney Cancer, Urinary Incontinence and Prostate Cancer. Erectile Dysfunction and Bladder Cancer are scheduled to be added in 2015. The website is available in 12 languages. This is a multi-stakeholder project with involvement of different national societies, EAUN, EAU Sections and the Young Urologists Office. 5.2With regards to the Offices related to Science, Prof. Artibani reports on: - Scientific Congress Office - Section Office - Regional Office Scientific Congress Office The Scientific Congress Office – chaired by Arnulf Stenzl – received a record number of abstract submissions for 2015; in fact more than 4,000 abstracts were sent. The format of the meeting had not been changed; a few sessions were added this year. Prof. Artibani thanked Arnulf Stenzl and the members of the Scientific Committee for their excellent work.

The Board of the Section will then decide if one can become an associate member of the Section. This decision will be based on pre-determined criteria. 12 General Assembly - March 2016 In 2015 the Sections would be having the following meetings: •Oncology: ESOU, 16-18 of January 2015, München • Stones: EULIS meeting in Alicante (Spain), 3-5 September, 2015 • Robotics - ERUS: 12th Meeting, Bilbao, Spain, 15-18 September, 2015 • Research: ESUR, World Congress 10-12 Sept, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, 2015 Regional Office The Regional Office – under the leadership of Bob Djavan – had been very successful in engaging, organizing and supervising meetings in specific European Regions in order to offer a scientific/clinical/research platform, with an increase of 40% in 2014. In 2014, the office organized the EAU Baltic Meeting, Vilnius, Lithuania, 23-25 May 2014 (251 participants); the 14th Central European Meeting (CEM) in Cracow, Poland, 10-12 October 2014 (281 participants); and the 10th South Eastern Meeting (SEEM), Belgrade, Serbia, 24-26 October 2014 (378 participants). For 2015 the following meetings were planned: the 2nd EAU Baltic Meeting in Riga, Latvia, 29-30 May; the 5th Central European Meeting (CEM), Budapest, Hungary, 2-4 October; and the 11th South Eastern Meeting (SEEM), Antalya, Turkey, 6-8 November. The new format of the meetings had been very well received and this was to be further improved for 2015. Like last year, there was to be a Best Poster session at the EAU congress and Award winners were to be considered as challengers for the Davos meeting. The main change regarding the Regional Office was the Regional Scientific Working Group. This working group has the aim to further professionalize and streamline the process of the composition of the scientific programme and the handling of abstracts. Future activities would involve the further improvement of: • Country competition; • EAU Highlight sessions with SCO • Abstract/Poster and Video Awards; • HOT sessions in laparoscopy, endourology, and robotics with ESUT • Fellowship Coordination with EUSP • ESU courses • YUO sessions • Cooperative research groups • Basic Science project with ESUR • Identification of future leaders and inclusion in EAU activities General Assembly - March 2016 13 As it was his last official opportunity in the post of Adjunct Secretary General, Prof. Artibani wanted to use the occasion to look back at a few activities he was involved in: He was involved in the introduction of the bylaws of the Search and Nomination Committee. This was an important step in assuring the best possible future of the organization, introducing a clear and transparent process by which present and future leaders are selected. The Section Bylaws were established with the help of Astrid Venhorst initially, and with Luis Martinez-Piñeiro. The Sections started as a means to protect borderline areas of our specialty, but became - and are still - the backbone of our organization. Now they are founded in clear regulations regarding activities, positions and budgets. Over the past 3 years ERUS was transformed successfully from an independent society into the EAU Section of Robotic Surgery. This was established with the help of Prof. Mottrie and the Board members of ERUS. During this Annual Meeting in Madrid the EAU Robotic Curriculum was to be officially launched, providing an innovative structure and programme in Robotic Surgery for urologists. Although Live Surgery sessions are the most attended sessions at the Annual Meeting they have been debated and their educational value challenged. They have actually been disbanded by some scientific organizations around the world. The EAU introduced the Live Surgery Endorsement policy with clear regulations, with the main goal of assuring patient safety, and also establishing a prospective database which could provide answers to unanswered questions and provide outcomes with educational value. In 2014 the new concept of the Section and Regional Meetings as Gate Openers was formed for all those who would like to be involved in the EAU Organization and become an Affiliate first and after that potentially a Board Member of a Section, or to be selected during a Regional Meeting. This opened the gate to rise the steps of the ladder of the EAU and to be involved on a higher level within the EAU structure. Finally, another project Prof. Artibani was heavily involved in was the EAU-ICUD E-book on Minimal Invasive Urological Surgery, which was to be presented during this Annual Meeting. The e-book was contributed to by more than 100 experts worldwide. Prof. Artibani thanked the Executive and EAU Management for being able to contribute to the development of the Organization and introduced Prof. F. Montorsi, Milan (I) as his successor. 14 General Assembly - March 2016 5.3Prof. Van Poppel reports on the Offices related to Education being: - Education Office - EU-ACME Office - EUSP Office - Guidelines Office - Young Urologists Office Education Office The Education Office (ESU) – chaired by Joan Palou - had been very active, organizing 15 ESU courses at National Society Meetings in 2014, as well as 3 major ESU Masterclasses. For 2015, the Office had already planned 15 courses at National Societies and several Masterclasses: • ESU-Weill Cornell Masterclass in General Urology, Salzburg (A) • ESU Masterclass on Lasers in Urology, in collaboration with ESUT, Barcelona (ES) • ESU Masterclass on Female and Functional Reconstructive Urology, in collaboration with ESFFU, Berlin (D) During this Annual Congress in Madrid, the ESU was involved in organizing 45 ESU courses and different hands-on-training courses (including new topics such as URS, bipolar TURP, Robotics, Urodynamics, Green Light Laser, Botox, Suturing and Social Media). Additionally the ESU had organized E-BLUS courses and exams, ESU courses at the EAUN meeting, and the Education & Innovation booth. The ESU had also organized the European Urology Forum in Davos (CH); the European Urology Residents Education Programme (EUREP), Prague (CZ); ESU courses at EAU Regional Meetings (EAU Baltic, CEM, SEEM); ESU courses at the EMUC and at EAU Section meetings (ERUS, ESAU); and the ESU-ESO active surveillance collaborative meeting (2014). In China, the ESU organized the Chinese European Urology Education Programme (CEUEP), Beijing (CN); the ESU Residents education programme at CAU (CAUREP); and the ESU-ASU teaching course, Hong Kong (HK). ESU also organized various Hands-On-Trainings and EBlus trainings and exams at different National and International events. There were new plans for EAU Education Online, an EAU Guidelines quiz and Online Courses regarding Overactive Bladder and Prostate Cancer. E-BLUS and E-BRUS was ongoing, European training in Basic Laparoscopic and Robotic Urologic Surgery for residents and urologists, and all courses are CME accredited. There was work in progress regarding a Masterclass on Operative management of BPO and a Masterclass on Operative management of Bladder cancer. Onsite Workshops were being designed, there is an undergraduate curriculum in urology, a curriculum in hands-on training, and finally the European Urology Focus. General Assembly - March 2016 15 EU-ACME Office The EU-ACME Office is chaired by Rien Nijman. As of 2014, there were 17.595 EU-ACME members, and 18 national urological societies had joined as well as 3 international urological societies. Future activities include increasing awareness of the services of the EU-ACME office, promoting the programme amongst national urology associations not yet participating, further promotion of the CME online (Multiple Choice Questions), data exchange between EU-ACME and national CME/CPD databases, disseminating Good Clinical Medical Practices and finally forming an EU-ACME working group to accredit host centres for the Scholarship Programme, together with the EBU. EUSP Office The EUSP Office – led by Vincenzo Mirone – now offers a new a new grant model in collaboration with the EAU Research Foundation. With this grant the EUSP will try to attract young researchers to come to Arnhem (EAU Central Office) for a 3 month period and then afterwards an additional 3 month period in the center linked to the European study coordinator, in order to retrieve data, publications and reports from the extensive database. There will be a maximum budget provided of €15.000. The Short Visit programme allows a visit to prepare for the 1 year Laboratory-Clinical Scholarship, whilst the Clinical Visit can last from 3 weeks up to 3 months. In 2014 the EUSP Office launched a new and updated website making it easier to apply for a scholarship. The website contains a list of host centers from across Europe, specialized in both basic and clinical research. Finally, new guidelines had been developed for evaluating candidates, aligned with the experience, skills and necessities of today’s young European urologists. The main objectives for 2015 were to update the relevance and effectiveness of the Scholarships offered, to update the list of accredited host centres with new criteria in collaboration between the EUSP–EBU–EAU Section Offices. Additionally the Office aimed to further increase awareness of the EUSP and to increase interaction with the YUO, the EUREP and ESU Courses, and the National Societies. Guidelines Office The Guidelines Office is under the guidance of James N’Dow and has installed two new dedicated Committees to support EAU Guidelines Development. The first is the Methods Sub-Committee, Chaired by Prof.Dr. R. Sylvester, and including the Associates Support Group, Chaired by Prof.Dr. T. Knoll. The second is the Dissemination sub-Committee, Chaired by Prof.Dr. C. Llorente. This committee includes the New Media support group, chaired by Prof.Dr. M. Ribal. 16 General Assembly - March 2016 The EAU Guidelines had been updated again this year and have a standardized format that will be further progressed. The different panels achieved a text reduction of 500 pages and blinded peer review was introduced. The Guidelines are also available in a pocket app. In terms of dissemination activities, there has been formal endorsement from the National Urological Societies. So far 26 National Societies have done so and the Guidelines Office would like to increase this number. The Office is also active on social media platforms. In terms of Quality Improvement activities, the Guidelines Office was working on the structured introduction of Systematic Reviews for all topics, the organization of Expert Panel Workshops (1.5 day sessions), and the identification and training of young doctors in systematic review work (3-day sessions, 42 Associates are trained so far). Projects for 2015/2016 consisted of further quality improvement, collaboration with urological associations, partnerships with other guidelines producers, assessment of the impact of the EAU guidelines on urological care, and development of patient friendly versions (lay summaries). Young Urologists Office The YUO – chaired by Michiel Sedelaar, represents the specific educational and training needs of residents and young urologists starting their career. The target groups of the YUO are students, residents (ESRU), young urologists (< 40 years old and/or within 5 years of finishing residency), and young academic urologists (YAU). The YUO has a new up-to-date website and had organized the Residents and Young Urologists Day at the congress in Madrid. The YUO is trying to set up a Leadership Programme for young academic urologists and in addition were working on TEC, a Training, Education and Career development initiative, which is accessible through the social media. Cooperation with the ESRU – the partner of the YUO - was getting more solid and the aim was to have the ESRU incorporated within the EAU and have YUO-ESRU collaboration. ESRU representation in the YUO Board was already very active at this point. How the future collaboration between YUO and ESRU would look was still to be defined, but a new logo in the EAU style had already been designed. General Assembly - March 2016 17 The Young Academic Urologists – chaired by Francesco Sanguedolce – are part of the Young Urologists Office and have 9 working groups covering various diseases: • BPH (Chair: Cosimo de Nunzio) • Urothelial Cancer (Chair: Evanguelos Xylinas) • Endourology & Urolithiasis (Chair: Francesco Sanguedolce) • Men’s Health (Chair: Paolo Verze) • Functional Urology (Chair: Jean-Nicolas Cornu) • Paediatrics (Chair: Selçuk Silay) • Prostate Cancer (Chair: Gianluca Giannarini) • Renal Cell Carcinoma (Chair: Sabine Brookman-May) • Robotics (Chair: Nicolòmaria Buffi) This working group was very active; producing databases, doing analysis, producing high impact publications, was involved in the Sections and has many new applicants. However, not all European Countries were represented and for that reason the group was actively lobbying for new membership. All different chapters and their working groups were congratulated on their work achieved so far. 5.4Prof. Abrahamsson reports on the Offices related to Governance being: - Strategy Planning Office - International Relations Office - Membership Office Strategy Planning Office The Strategy Planning Office – under the guidance of Prof. Didier Jacqmin – aims to increase EAU visibility and to ensure that the EAU is recognized as a key partner for any urology-related activities within a European Union setting. In connection with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and the European Commission, a number of important activities were being discussed such as the clinical trial regulations adopted in 2014, the amendments to Data Protection on, for instance, Medical devices legislation IVD and Mobility of Health Care Professionals in the EU. The EAU Guidelines were being promoted to the Commission, EAU members were being placed in the scientific committees of the EU Commission, and finally the EAU was actively taking part in the European Reference Networks (cross border healthcare directive). 18 General Assembly - March 2016 The EAU is a partner of the European Alliance for Personalized Medicine (EAPM) where Prof. Jacqmin is a Board member (Treasurer). The EAU had attended and would attend the following events as part of the ongoing activities of the SPO: • Brussels 9-10 September 2014: Integrating Personalized Medicine into EU strategy (EAPM), 193 participants including 13 MEPs, 10 Commission representatives, 1 for EMA. • Brussels 25 November 2014: ETHEL Symposium EESC. • Brussels 25 February 2015 workshop: Personalized medicine – Towards the goal of prevention and access to treatment for all (EAU participants), 5 MEPs, 1 Commissioner (Phil Hogan). • Brussels 25 November 2015 meeting: Value of diagnostic information in personalized medicine, 39 participants mainly from diagnostics devices companies. There was also participation in different Working groups of the EAPM and these were some of the most important activities: • Big data, Education and training of health care professionals • Early access and better decision making • Research road map for Personalized Medicine • Regulatory affairs task force • Launching of the Oncology Clinical Trial panel (EAPM, EORTC, ESMO, EAU, EANM, EHA) 1.Methodology 2. Validation of molecular diagnostic and imaging technologies 3. Clinical Trial framework 4. Patient protection International Relations Office The Chair of the International Relations Office – Prof. Christopher Chapple – emphasized that our core business is in Europe and in order to further develop our close collaboration with European national societies, a network of EAU Liaisons had been established by European national societies. The Office had continued to strengthen its collaborative links with countries beyond Europe. Exchange programmes have been held with Canada, USA, China, Japan and Australia & New Zealand. As in previous years, the EAU had contributed to meetings of the National Societies both in and outside Europe by giving lectures, organizing joint scientific sessions, promoting and supporting exchange programmes and establishing membership contracts. Together with the SIU and the AUA, the EAU had initiated a philanthropic mission in Africa and planned to continue to develop that further under the umbrella of the EAU. General Assembly - March 2016 19 As in previous years there were joint sessions during the ‘Urology Beyond Europe’ programme with: • Caucasus / Central Asia • Arab Association of Urology (AAU) • Confederación Americana de Urología (CAU) • Federation of ASEAN Urological Associations (FAUA) • Iranian Urological Association (IUA) • Japanese Urological Association (JUA) • Korean Urological Association (KUA) • Maghreb Union Countries • Pan-African Urological Surgeons’ Association (PAUSA) • Société Internationale d’Urologie (SIU) • Urological Society of India (USI) • World Chinese Urologists 6.

Other business Presentation by Peter Mulders on the EAU Research Foundation The EAU Research Foundation is the place where clinical science and laboratory science meet in an attempt to create an efficient and innovative trial design that will automatically lead to better trial management. The EAU Research Foundation was working in a number of sub-committees. General Assembly - March 2016 21 The Clinical Studies Committee performs urology trials in Europe with significant impact. Running Projects were: 1) ZEUS. Reported at the annual EAU Congress in Milan, 2013. An article with the final analysis had been published in European Urology in March 2015. Further analyses of the ZEUS database will probably be extended by a young academic urologist and/or a EUSP Fellowship. 2) MAGNOLIA. Study recruitment stopped because of the clinical development of the MAGE-A3 vaccin and was terminated by GSK Biologicals. Patients continue active study treatment. 3) NIMBUS, NMIBC reduced frequency of BCG instillations: this was recruiting in Germany and the Netherlands and would be starting up in the UK and Spain. New Proposed Projects were: 4) MDV3100 in PSA recurrence after local therapy PCA 5) Anti-PDL1 antibody in bladder cancer 6) Tasquinimod in CRPC A new investigator-initiated non-oncology trial was needed and was under evaluation. The Registry committee initiates relevant registries in all urology disease areas that will have an impact on treatment decisions. Running Projects were: 1) EVOLUTION. BPH-GSK: over 2000 patients included; registry report available, publications pending (YAU, EUSP); abstracts presented SIU, ICS 2014 and AUA 2015. 2) EASE. European Active Surveillance of Small (<4 cm) RCC 3) GPIU. UTI nosocomial infections and urosepsis registry 4) SERPENS. UTI-Cubist/Merck: (Epidemiology and outcomes of Gram negative urosepsis) New Projects were: 1) ECLIPSE. Focal therapy PCa- prospective registry 2) ESFFU-EAU RF European AUS/Sling registry The Basic Science Committee promotes translational research for urologists from bench to bedside. The database for urology translational research centres contains 23 European urology basic research centres. The Basic Science Committee grant application for a 3 year career development post-doctoral position in Urological Research for PhD was successful for the third year. The Committee was working actively in collaboration with the clinical trials division on projects and side studies. Side studies were the markers in MIBC, NMIBC, RCC and CRPC. 22 General Assembly - March 2016 The use of a validated database management system at the EAU central office (XClinical®) would be an opportunity to implement the registries and to expand investigator-initiated oncology and non-oncology urology clinical trials and registries. The Research Foundation interacts with patient communities (e.g. EUROPA UOMO) and the European Union but the aim is to intensify basic research interaction with urology. Communication with the Research Foundation can easily be done via the updated website that also contains the projects and publications. Introduction by Prof. Abrahamsson of Prof. Chapple as the new EAU Secretary General Prof. Abrahamsson introduced Prof. Chapple to the General Assembly as the new EAU Secretary General.

Prof. Rassweiler is also a consulting editor for European Urology and the 2013 winner of the EAU Hans Marberger Award. In 1992, Prof. Rassweiler was the first German surgeon to perform laparoscopic nephrectomy. He has been head of the Department of Urology and Paediatric Urology at the SLK Kliniken Heilbronn, University of Heidelberg since 1994. He has several (honorary) memberships of prominent national and international medical societies and is a leader in the field of laparoscopic surgery. The EAU Search & Nomination Committee believes his experience as a Section Chairman and his stature in the field makes him the best possible candidate for this position on the EAU Board. For the position of Chairman of the EAU History Office Prof. Philip E.V. Van Kerrebroeck, Maastricht (NL) Philip Van Kerrebroeck has been a regular contributor to the activities of the EAU History Office by giving lectures and presenting posters at EAU meetings. He has also contributed to several of its publications. He became a member of the office when Dr. Mattelaer formally stepped down in 2013. That year, Van Kerrebroeck also hosted the History Office Fall Meeting in Antwerp, designing a scientific programme with broad appeal. Van Kerrebroeck was a coordinator of the EAU-EBU East-West programme (1990-1996) and board member of the European School of Urology (1996-2004). He has frequently presented during the scientific programme of the EAU annual meeting and is a reviewer for European Urology. Philip Van Kerrebroeck has been a Professor of Urology at Maastricht University since 1996, having previously worked in the department of Urology in Nijmegen with Frans Debruyne, after receiving most of his education in his native Belgium and the US. He is former Chairman of the department of Urology Department at Maastricht UMC+ (1996-2013), and continues to work there as a full time clinical urologist. He has a specific interest in Functional Urology and Neuro-Urology, was the first Chairman of the European Society for Female Urology, and published over 300 peer-reviewed articles. He has a strong passion for the history of Urology, and published five books in that field. 24 General Assembly - March 2016 New Active members till 2 February 2016 Austria Akkad, Thomas Samir Hauer, Werner Karwandgar, Matiullah Sedlmayer, Felix Belarus Buldyk, Yury Bosnia and Herzegovina Supic, Aleksandar Bulgaria Idris, Abdulhasib Musbah Kanchev, Stanko Stoev, Ventsislav Croatia De Both, Tomislav Popovic, Alek Cyprus Philippou, Prodromos Denmark Gauger, Pia Mindaugas, Ziukas Topcu, Sükrü Oguzkan Estonia Mjazina, Tatjana France Almeras, Christophe Ariane, Mehdi Mokhtar Mourey, Eric Tligui, Mohamed Georgia Alexandre Khuskivadze, Alexandre Germany Akbarov, Ilgar Burger, Rainer Decker, Michael Hassler, Andreas Khalfallah, Ibrahim Mendjeritski, Alexandre Mihalache, Ioan George Novotny, Vladimir Petry, Achim Sokolowsky, Lars Stanoi, Alin Vesa, Nikolaus Werner, Thorsten Yaghchi, Riman Greece Moiragias, Christos Raptidis, Grigorios Stavropoulos, Marios Zavradinos, Dimitrios Hungary Brousil, Ervin Fabos, Zoltan Kardos, Robert Kazmer, Tibor Seres, Zoltán Sukosd, Farkas Szigeti, András Imre Szijjarto, Ferenc Ireland Al Belushi, Amna Al Hallage, Wael Floyd, Michael Israel Burbara, Yousef Elias, Ibrahim Gershbaum, Meyer David Gilad, Ron Hidas, Guy Holland, Ronen Keller, Thomas Kessler, Oded Khukhim, Michael Kotcherov, Stanisvlav Lindner, Uri Manes, Aaron Murad, Asali Ofer, Yaron Sabler, Itay Marat Shoval, Yishai Sternberg, Itay Yusim, Igor Italy Al Rawashdah, Samer Fathi Abdelkareem Berdondini, Paulo Castagnetti, Marco De Stefanis, Paolo Giuseppe Filocmo, Maria Teresa Militello, Andrea Nole, Franco Pacifico, Carmen Giuseppe Rosini, Roberto Tomaselli, Vincenzo Claudio Trippitelli, Ricardo Valerio, Salvatore Kazakhstan Umbetov, Renat General Assembly -
