Can Member States form any other groupings within their regions?
Member states will need to stay within the four regions identified by the 1986 Amendment but, where the special characteristics of a region so require, they may form subdivisions on a sub-regional basis to appoint separately Members to fill the seats assigned to the sub-region. The 1986 Amendment also specifically provides that for the European region, the States of Western Europe and those of Eastern Europe may form separate electoral colleges and select separately their representatives on the Governing Body. It is important to note however that the 1986 Amendment allows for the four regions it establishes to be adjusted by mutual agreement among all the governments concerned.
