FERCO brings together the national contract catering associations from different EU Member States and aims one day to cover the whole of Europe, as specific contract catering associations are created in each Member State.

The General Assembly develops FERCO policy, holds elections for membership and officials, and establishes working groups on areas of strategic importance. One General Assembly is held in June, the other in December.

The president is assisted by three vice-presidents. Each vice-president handles a specific issue, with one vice-president acting as Treasurer. The Brussels-based secretariat conducts the Federation’s daily business.

Members of the Bureau are:

Antonio Llorens, President Yann Coléou, Vice-President Peter Visscher, Vice-President Hans Georg Rummler, Vice-President Marie-Christine Lefebvre, Secretary General

FERCO takes some individual initiatives to defend specific interests of the Contract catering through activities co-ordinated at EU level and at national level, and carried out in partnership with FERCO members. In other cases, FERCO seeks to be part of a broader alliance with EU associations sharing the same interests and objectives.
