Spring COMEM 2014 (Council of Members) of the European Youth Forum (YFJ) was a very significant one. The members gathered to discuss the issues that will have a big impact on the Forum's work on the following years. The External Relations officer of YEE, Zara, attended the meeting that took place in Brussels on 25-26 of April 2014.

 On the first day the members presented an Urgent Resolution on the Crisis in Ukraine. The discussion on the resolution was tough, and almost everyone had their input into the final version of the document which was later adopted by all the members. Although all the representatives were very much involved in the discussion of the resolution, there was also some time dedicated to the policy commissions. This time the policy commissions were: Youth Work, What youth want by 2030?, The next Work-Plan of the Youth Forum (2015-2016) and YFJ inclusive environment.

The second day started with the amendments to the statutory documents and went slowly to the Extraordinary General Assembly. Some of the most important issues of the day were the election of a new Board member and the vote on the ratification of the new Secretary General. Since the previous Treasurer resigned from the Board a new Board member was elected. Vasiliky Aleksandri from YEPP (Youth of the European People's Party) is now the new Treasurer of YFJ.
The YFJ members also ratified the new Secretary General Allan Pall from ESU (European Students' Union) and said goodbye to Giuseppe Porcaro who was the Secretary General of YFJ for the last 5 years.
