By delegation of the Committee by virtue of these Statutes, the Senate takes the decisions required by the management of the FIA when circumstances do not permit a meeting of the Committee or of the World Councils, especially in cases of emergency; decisions thus taken must be confirmed during the next meeting of the Committee or of the relevant World Council. On proposal of its President the Senate may invite other Members to join in the study of specific questions. Such extra Members shall have no vote. Acting on the advice of the Audit Committee, the Senate shall also close the accounts for last accounting period, prepare the draft budgets to be submitted to the World Councils, draw up a consolidated budget, and check the management of the budgets. It shall study and supervise all FIA financial problems in general. On the request of the Committee or on its own initiative, the Senate shall also study all general problems of FIA policy. It shall submit its recommendations to the President of the FIA. The Senate shall convene as required a Commercial Promotions sub-Committee with the following terms of reference: • To consider all commercial and promotional proposals for FIA championships and series submitted by promoters on the advice of the relevant FIA sporting Commissions; • To examine such proposals to ensure that they are consistent with competition policies, and avoid commercial conflicts of interest; • To make recommendations on such proposals to the World Motor Sport Council, before approval of the championship or series in question. The Senate shall each year propose to the General Assembly the Members of the FIA International Historic Commission – which shall include a candidate nominated by FIVA – and shall appoint the Chairman of such Commission. The Senate shall be convened by its President each time he considers it to be necessary and at least twice per year. Decisions of the Senate shall be carried by an absolute majority.
