3.Wearing prescription
The wearing instructions indicated in text and images how the decoration must be worn:
The general starting point is unity. This means that all wear the decoration in the same way. If one has more decorations, you wear the decoration with the highest-ranking number near the heart. As for the baton for loyal and long-term membership, it is customary to wear only the highest decoration. No more than three batons may be worn in width. For several batons, the row below the top batons is used.
4.Nomination
For the application, a written substantiation must be drawn up as to why and for which the relevant person/delegate is eligible for a decoration. See enclosure. This nomination is made by one or more involved Delegates of the FEU. FEU members can only be nominated when leaving the FEU. The nomination is addressed to the President at least 3 months before the desired presentation date. The nomination and gradation are assessed on the criteria drawn up for this. The President decides on the allocation of the decoration. The decoration is presented by, or on behalf of, the President. If it concerns the President self, the Secretary hands out the decoration.
The Board assesses a nomination with sufficient objectivity and in conjunction with other previous application and advises on the value of the earnings and the translation thereof into a bronze, silver, or gold decoration.
5.Other
The decoration is awarded on a suitable occasion, this may be at a Council meeting, but also at a relevant Congress or other suitable environment. A decoration can also be awarded posthumously.
In special cases, the chair may withdraw the decoration. This applies to reprehensible behaviour such as a crime for which someone has been convicted or a serious misconduct in the organization itself.
The costs of the decoration and the baton are borne by the FEU.
The Secretary keeps a record of the decoration and will also be published on the website of the FEU.
