Organisation

CIT’s supreme decision-making body is the General Assembly, which is responsible for determining overall association policy. The Executive Committee is the lead at the operational and administrative levels., while the Secretary-General manages day-to-day business. The CIT committees sign off on the products developed by the working groups. For specific issues, groups of experts are convened as required.

The Executive Committee is responsible for operational and administrative management of the CIT. It has the following tasks:

making the arrangements for meetings of the General Assembly;
preparing the Annual Accounts and the Budget;
approving the Annual Report;
expressing views on drafts of international rail transport law;
fixing the conditions of service of the staff and laying down the financial regulations;
supervising the management of the Secretary General.

The Executive Committee comprises nine members at most and is composed in a representative way. The CIT Chairman is a member as of right. The Executive Committee meets twice a year as a rule (in April and in September).

The committees are competent to adopt provisions on the implementation and application of international rail transport law in a standardised and practical way (in order to produce CIT documentation). To do that, the General Assembly delegates powers to them. The committees are composed in a representative way.
