National Olympic Committee of Ecuador The autonomy of the Ecuadorian NOC has been restored amicably. At the time of the ANOC meeting in Moscow in April, the NOC had raised the issue that its autonomy was being indirectly affected by Sports Ministry interference in the activities of the National Sports Federations. On 12 April 2012, the Sports Ministry decided not to recognise the elections conducted in 40 Sports Federations and to appoint three administrators to manage these federations and organise new elections within 90 days.
In order to resolve this situation, the IOC organised a meeting with the Sports Minister and the NOC in Lausanne on 10 May 2012. This meeting was extremely constructive and led to an agreement in principle between all the parties, respecting both the fundamental principles of the Olympic Movement and the country's legislation. This agreement has since been formalised and signed by all the parties concerned. ANOC would like to thank the IOC and all the other parties concerned for their swift action, which has resulted in the amicable resolution of this issue. Nomination of H.E.
