A list of all current CPT members is set out in Appendix 4. 90. The next biennial renewal of the CPT’s membership is due to take place at the end of 2017, the terms of office of 24 members of the Committee expiring on 19 December 2017. The CPT trusts that all the national delegations concerned in the Parliamentary Assembly will put forward candidates in good time, so as to enable the Bureau of the Assembly to transmit the lists of names to the Committee of Ministers by the end of June 2017 at the latest. If the election procedure for all the seats can be completed before the end of 2017, this will greatly facilitate the planning of the CPT’s activities for the following year. The spread of professional experience within the CPT’s membership remains on the whole satisfactory; the Committee possesses in particular a significant number of psychiatrists. However, it still needs more members with first-hand knowledge and experience in dealing with police and/or prison matters (notably prison health care specialists) as well as prosecutors and forensic doctors. Members with specific experience of working with juveniles deprived of their liberty would also be an asset. In an increasing number of countries, lists of candidates for vacant seats in the Committee are being drawn up in a manner that meets the requirements of Parliamentary Assembly Resolution 1540 (2007) on improving selection procedures for CPT members. The Committee hopes that this will soon be the case in all countries. As the Parliamentary Assembly emphasised in its Resolution 1923 (2013) on reinforcing the selection processes for members of key Council of Europe human rights monitoring mechanisms, “at the national level, selection procedures General Report of the CPT, 2015 ► Page 48 must be transparent and open to competition, including through public calls for candidatures”. Indeed, this is the only way of ensuring that all persons placed on lists of candidates are capable of making an effective contribution to the CPT’s activities. Bureau of the CPT 91. Elections for the Bureau were held at the Committee’s March 2015 plenary meeting, on the expiry of the previous Bureau’s two-year term of office. Mykola Gnatovskyy (Ukraine) was elected President, Maïté De Rue (Belgium) was elected 1st Vice-President and Wolfgang Heinz (Germany) 2nd Vice-President. After the expiry of Maïté De Rue’s term of office on 19 December 2015, in accordance with Rule 7 of the Committee’s Rules of Procedure, Wolfgang Heinz became Acting 1st Vice-President and Antonius Maria Van Kalmthout (Netherlands), the Committee member having precedence in accordance with Rule 3 of the Rules of Procedure, became Acting 2nd Vice-President (pending the election of a new 1st Vice-President). Secretariat of the CPT 92. Despite some improvements since the last reporting period, the staffing situation of the CPT Secretariat remained under strain in 2015. In particular, the Deputy Executive Secretary con­ tinued to be absent for most of the year, without being replaced. Further, one experienced administrator left the Secretariat to take up other duties within the Council of Europe, and two administrators were on extended leave for personal reasons during the whole of 2015. Replacements for the administrators concerned have been recruited on a temporary basis. In addition, an
