The European Olympic Committees ( EOK for short ; English European Olympic Committees , EOC ; French Comités Olympiques Européens , COE ) are the umbrella organization of the National Olympic Committees (NOKs) in Europe .
The EOK currently has 50 members and is based in Rome. The task of the EOK is the understanding of the NOKs among themselves and the representation of the EOK interests vis-à-vis the IOC and the international and European sports associations . In addition, the EOK support the organization of the European Games , the Games of the Small States of Europe and the European Youth Olympic Festival (EYOF).
President of the European Olympic Committees was the President of the Irish NOK and member of the IOC , Patrick Hickey , from 2006 to 2016 . On August 17, 2016, Hickey resigned from his Olympic position after being arrested during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics on suspicion of participating in the illegal ticket trade. The illegitimate sports officials like Hickey are accused of organizing propaganda for dictators with the games in Azerbaijan and Belarus. Numerous human rights defenders were arrested before and after the games.
