The IWWF Europe Racing Council belongs to the Europe Confederation (EC) of the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation (IWWF). The powers and duties of the Council are:

1. to promote the specific sporting interest of its division, with due observance to the recommendations of the Admincom.

2. to draw up rules for events containing the words 'Europe', 'European', ‘EC’ or 'E&A' in their title and ensure that all orders and instructions necessary for the organisation and the running of those events are respected.

3. to draw up the practical and theoretical examinations of international judges and officials to conduct examinations and maintain a register of all those qualified.

4. to set the conditions to be observed for the establishment and the homologation of records.

5. to submit a list of judges and officials for EC or E&A Titled Events to the EC Bureau and for World titled events to the President of the International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation and the Chairman of the World Council concerned.

6. to decide the category of competitions and the conditions required for them to be accepted for the calendar.

7. to draw up Standings Lists of skiers in EC and E&A, by division, from results of homologated competitions.
