The Conference of INGOs

The Conference of INGOs is the representative body of the INGOs holding participatory status.  Its plenary meetings are an occasion for dialogue with the bodies of the Council of Europe and for exchange amongst its members. 

The plenary Conference decides on policy lines and actions and adopts positions on fundamental issues and sends them in the form of Recommendations or Resolutions to other Council of Europe bodies, to other international or national institutions as well as to the media.
