MINUTES OF THE BUSINESS MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN
ORTHODONTIC SOCIETY HELD AT THE RAI INTERNATIONAL
EXHIBITION AND CONGRESS CENTRE, AMSTERDAM, THE
NETHERLANDS ON MONDAY, THE 6TH JUNE 2005 AT 16.00 HOURS
Apologies for Absence (Minute No. 880)
Professor R Martina and Professor I Theselff.
Statement of the President (Minute No. 881)
The President welcomed everyone to the Business Meeting.
Minutes of the last Meeting (Minute No. 882)
The Honorary Secretary announced that the Minutes of the previous meeting had been
displayed at the entrance and as there were no amendments, the President signed them as
an accurate record.
Matters arising (Minute No. 883)
None.
Report of the President (Minute No. 884)
The President said that the EOS has been working to achieve the aims of co-operation
with other societies and some years ago the EOS started the Forum of National
Orthodontic Societies. She said that over the years the EFOSA had developed well and
FEO has now evolved. At the recent Forum meeting it was considered that as most of
the points had been discussed at the EFOSA meeting, the general agreement was that the
Forum was no longer necessary and should be disbanded. The proposal was put to the
membership who agreed that there should be no further meetings of the Forum.
The President reported that there had been 1,100 participants at the Congress; 104
accompanying persons and 338 postgraduates. She said that the EOS had been very
successful in getting postgraduates to join the Society and it is hoped that they will
become active members. A meeting of EPSOS had been organised by Dutch
postgraduates which was very successful and which the postgraduates would like to
continue. Professor Kuijpers-Jagtman said that it is the membership that makes the
Society and she would like to thank them for placing their trust in her. She also thanked
the officers of the Society and the office in London for their co-operation and support.
She said that she had received a number of suggestions and complaints and hoped that
these would strengthen the Society.
Honorary Secretary’s Report (Minute No. 885)
I am pleased to report that our funding of research remains at a high level. A committee
consisting of Dr Frank Weiland of Austria, Professor Inger Kjær of Denmark and
1
Professor Fraser McDonald of the U.K. considered eight applications for research grants
and awarded grants to the following: Dr Jansen of the University of Nijmegen,
Netherlands, Dr Cobourne of the University of London, U.K. and Dr Staudt of the
University of Geneva, Switzerland. An announcement concerning further research
awards will appear in the August issue of the EJO.
Two Eastern European grants have also been awarded, one to Dr Flis of the Ukraine to
visit the University of Amsterdam and the other to Dr Černochová of the Czech
Republic to attend the University of Gent.
At this year’s congress the following were awarded:
The Houston oral award judged by Professors Hans Peter Bantleon (Austria), Christos
Katsaros (Netherlands) and Birte Melsen (Denmark) was given to Dr A Dudic of the
University of Geneva, Switzerland. The Houston poster award judged by Professor Luc
Dermaut (Belgium), Professor Fraser McDonald (U.K.) and Dr Frank Weiland (Austria)
was given to Dr S H Jónsdóttir of the University of Nijmegen, Netherlands.
The three EOS poster awards were given to: Dr A Vicente Hernandez of the University
of Murcia, Spain; Dr S Jönsson of the Eastman Institute, Stockholm, Sweden and Dr
Berclaz of the University of Geneva, Switzerland. The awards were judged by Dr Susan
Cunningham (U.K), Professor Irma Thesleff (Finland) and Professor David Suarez
Quintanilla (Spain).
The winners of the Beni Solow Award selected by the editorial board for the best article
published in the European Journal of Orthodontics in 2004 were Carlaberta Verna et al.
of the University of Aarhus, Denmark.
The new website is now fully operational and hopefully you will have accessed the site
which at last contains the booklet prepared by Pierre Planché and Herman Duterloo on
the EBO. Any website is only of value if the information is kept up to date and we
welcome comments from members regarding the accuracy and content of the website.
The membership details will be updated every four months.
Honorary Treasurer’s Report (Minute No. 886)
First I would like to acknowledge the good co-operation within the executive committee,
and to thank the office staff for their help. I am sure that every member of our society
appreciates the assistance and efficiency with which our office operates throughout the
year.
Scrutiny of the accounts of the year 2004 reveals that in that year our income exceeded
the expenditure by £88,750.00.
The membership subscription was some 15% higher than in 2004, amounting to
£141,449.00 which is primarily a result of the recent increase of the membership dues.
Unfortunately, some members leave us with all bank charges when they transfer their
subscriptions. We have decided to adjust the invoices in the following year to recover
2
these charges and, in view of these problems bank transfers will no longer be available.
We are sorry about this, in particular for those members who have fully complied with
the instructions.
The income from investment rose by about £3,800.00 whilst the overall value of our
investments on the stock market increased by nearly £97,000.00, which corresponds to
over 16%. As you may remember, the EOS Trustees had decided to establish an
unrestricted reserve fund of £700,000.00. Our present financial position shows that this
objective has now been achieved.
Last year we were very fortunate to receive over £30,000.00 profit made by our Past
President, Birte Melsen, at her congress in Aarhus. Many thanks and congratulations to
Birte and her team on this result!
Our overall expenditure was marginally lower than in the year before. As in previous
years, we spent approximately £7,200.00 on the awards, which were the Houston Oral
Research, the Houston Poster, the Congress Poster, the Sheldon Friel, and the Beni
Solow Awards. A sum of £12,000.00 was transferred to the Houston Memorial Reserve,
and £50,000.00 to future research grants.
The costs of the publication of the European Journal of Orthodontics for 2003 decreased
again compared with the previous year. While the income from the European Board of
Orthodontists examination dropped again, the expenses of running the EBO rose and,
again, substantially exceeded the income, this time by £4,545.00.
In summary, financially 2004 was a good year.
Honorary Editor’s Report (Minute No. 887)
There is very little to report, but 2004 was again a successful year for the journal and all
changes that had previously been agreed are now in place.
I would like to express my thanks to the three Associate Editors, Sue Cunningham, Ted
Eliades and Ama Johal. for their assistance, and to especially thank Ted for his
participation on the Council of the EOS.
My thanks also go Professor Carl-Magnus Forsberg, who recently relinquished his
position on the Editorial Board, for all his hard work over a number of years.
Election of nominated members, resignations and deaths (Minute No. 887)
a)
Honorary Membership
The President announced that a nomination had been received from four active members
of the Society for Professor James of the United Kingdom to be given Honorary
Membership of the Society. She said that Professor Moss had served in a number of
capacities within the Society over many years and Council were supportive. The motion
was put to the membership and it was unanimously carried.
3
Professor Moss said that it was a great honour. He had been a member of the Society for
some years and it had been a great privilege to serve in various offices and thanked both
the membership and his wife for their support, without which it would not have been
possible to carry out the duties. Professor Booy of The Netherands, on behalf of the
EOS, paid tribute to Professor Moss for all his work on behalf of the Society and said
that he had been the ‘voice’ of the Society for a number of years.

Number of Members:
2914
European Board of Orthodontists (Minute No. 889)
Professor Moss reported that the EBO examination had taken place on Thursday the 2nd
and Friday, the 3rd of June. Ten candidates had applied to sit the examination, one had
withdrawn prior to the examination and one failed to attend. Of the eight candidates
who sat the examination two had been deferred and six had passed. They were:
Monique Chouvain (France), Guiodo Herzog (Switzerland) and Toshio Deguchi, Chiroi
Hashiba, Toshiaka Hiro and Yasuko Kuroda (all from Japan).
Professor Moss said that documents written by the Committee appointed by the Council
of the EOS had been considered and that the examination would be run by a Board of
Governors. Dr Mauro Cozzani of Italy was elected as the membership representative.
Professor Katsaros of the Netherlands said that he wished to ask the same question as
last year ‘Why is the EBO so unsuccessful’. This year only four Europeans and four
Japanese sat the Board. Professor Moss said that they wanted to get the booklet on the
website together with the forms and to provide instructions on how to write up the cases,
and what the examiners are looking for. He hoped that this would stimulate people to
get their records together and sit the Board. He said that each EBO members is acting as
an ambassador to encourage people to take the Board. He reported that the presentation
of EBO cases in the lunch hour were well attended. He said that suggestions would be
welcome on how to stimulate people to take the Board.
EOS Congress 2010 (Minute No. 890)
The President announced that it had been agreed by Council that Stefan Affolter should
be proposed as President to hold the meeting in 2010 in Zurich, Switzerland.
Professor Kiliaridis of Switzerland requested a closed ballot since he felt that if there
was an open ballot then this might influence how some delegates voted. The President
agreed, and as the discussion would be about a person, she asked Dr Affolter to leave the
room.
11
Professor Kiliaridis said that he considered that the way in which the announcement was
made was not in the spirit of the Society. He said that the information was given in the
newsletter without the Swiss membership being previously informed. He said that he
had no objection to a meeting being held in Switzerland but was against whole
procedure. He said that it was for the membership to decide. Professor Pender of the
U.K. asked whether the membership were voting for the person, the country or the place
in that country. The President said that we were voting for the President. The results of
the secret ballot were: 37 for, 50 against, 3 abstentions and 1 spoilt paper. The President
announced that the matter would be referred back to Council.
Introduction of New President and Vote of Thanks (Minute No. 891)
Professor Kuijpers-Jagtman said that it gave her great pleasure to introduce Hans-Peter
Bantleon who will hold the 82nd Congress in Vienna, Austria in 2006. Professor
Bantleon thanked Professor Kuijpers-Jagtman for arranging the Congress in Amsterdam
and for an excellent scientific programme. He said that it had been an unusual social
programme but the venue for the Silver Mill had been wonderful and this had been
enjoyed by all the young delegates who were the future of our Society. He invited the
delegates to attend the meeting in Vienna, Austria from the 4th to the 8th July.
Any Other Business (Minute No. 892)
Professor Hägg of Hong Kong said that there should be a higher profile for the posters at
the Congress. He said that it was extremely difficult to identify which posters had been
selected for the Houston Research Award as they were not marked in any way or
grouped together either in the abstract booklet or at the exhibition. The Honorary
Secretary said that this had been discussed by Council and it had been agreed that in
future the Houston Oral Research Awards should be printed in the booklet after the
Sheldon Friel Lecture and the posters grouped together at the beginning of the poster
section of the abstract booklet. The Houston posters would also be in a separate section
at the exhibition.
Date of Next Meeting (Minute No. 893)
Friday, the 7th July 2006 at 17.00 hours.
