The outgoing President Tor Lian (NOR) was elected EHF Honorary President and during the standing ovation he was presented not only with a special golf club but with the EHF golden pin and diploma.

The Congress also elected three new Honorary Members - all former chairmen of the Commissions.
Jan Tuik (NED) from the Competition Commission and František Táborský (CZE) from the Methods Commission both retried at the Congress.
