Additionally the EUCAR organisation consists of the Coordination Committee, having a role to support the operation of EUCAR and the contacts with the member companies. The Financing Group and the Legal Group are two bodies of company representatives supporting in issues of financing and legal matters of the EUCAR organisation and R&D projects.
