Ordinary General Assembly of the DGMK 2020

Note on agenda item 6 "Amendments to the Articles of Association":

1 The standardisation work, which is supervised in the DGMK by the FAM Technical Committee for Mineral Oil and Fuel Standardisation, is of national, European and international importance. However, the standardisation work of the FAM is hardly associated with the DGMK. In order to give more expression to this importance within the DGMK and to give the DGMK additional visibility beyond national borders, the executive board shall establish a separate standardisation division in accordance with §13 para. 2.

• The Executive Board therefore proposes that this be reflected in the Articles of Association (see Article 2 (1) e and Article 13 (1) e of the Articles of Association).
