(11) The joint implementation of EMPIR requires an implementation structure. The participating states have agreed on the implementation structure for EMRP and set up in 2007 EURAMET e.V. (hereinafter "EURAMET"), the European Regional Metrology Organisation and a non-profit association under German law. EURAMET also has tasks and obligations related to the wider European and global harmonisation of metrology. Membership of EURAMET is open to all European National Metrology Institutes (NMI), as members, and to Designated Institutes (DI), as associates. Membership in EURAMET is not conditional upon existence of national metrology research programmes. Given that, according to the Report on Interim Evaluation of EMRP, the governance structure of EURAMET has proved to be efficient and of high quality for the implementation of the EMRP, EURAMET should also be used for the implementation of EMPIR. EURAMET should be the recipient of the Union’s financial contribution. In staffing EURAMET attention must be paid to gender equality under Article 15 of the 'Horizon 2020' Famework Programme.
