General Secretariat
The General Secretariat is the executive body of the Governing Board. It is therefore in charge of the FGYO’s direction and administration. It is made up of two Secretaries General, one being French and the other German.
Their appointment is fixed in agreement between the French and the German governments. Their terms last 6 years and can be renewed once. The French and the German terms start each with a 3-year offset.
Pascale Trimbach and Tobias Bütow are the current FGYO’s Secretaries General.
