The smooth functioning of the Authority requires that its Executive Director be appointed on the grounds of merit and documented administrative and managerial skills, as well as relevant competence and experience, and that he/she performs his/her duties with complete independence and flexibility as to the organisation of the internal functioning of the Authority.
Ameti sujuvaks toimimiseks on tarvis, et tegevdirektor nimetataks ametisse tema teeneid, dokumenteeritud haldamis- ja juhtimisoskust ning asjaomaseid teadmisi ja kogemusi silmas pidades, ning et ta täidaks oma tööülesandeid täiesti sõltumatult ja korraldaks ametisisest tööd paindlikult.
