The Young Pirates of Europe (YPE) are the European federation of Pirate Party youth organizations.
The federation is founding member and the youth organization of the European Pirate Party. It was founded in August 2013 and is officially registered in Brussels. The association is managed by a board of up to 7[2] members.
On 19 September 2014, the original Swedish organization was disbanded and YPE was founded anew as a Belgian organization. In this process, Mladí Piráti, the Czech pirate youth organization as well as Junge Pirat*innen from Austria both became founding members. Ung Pirat, one of the original founding members, however, left the organization because its delegates were not appointed to found a new organization and vote on behalf of Ung Pirat in their assembly. Thus, the Swedish organization is currently not a member until it reapplies and is readmitted by the Board.[3]

Structure
The Young Pirates of Europe is divided into two bodies: the Council and the Board.
The Council (European Pirates Instituted Council, EPIC) is the highest body of YPE. It meets annually between the 1st of May and the 30th of September. An extraordinary meeting (EPIC FAIL) may be requested by the Board or one third of the members. EPIC elects the Board and up to two auditors. In addition to the approval of the financial statements of the previous year and the budget for the coming year, it may decide on the discharge of the Board and the auditors. The Council also decides on the motions submitted by a member organization or the Board. The voters of the Council consist of up to two delegates from each of the member organizations.
The Board consists of the President, a Master and/or Mistress of Coin, the Secretary General and up to four other members. The members of the Board may not be older than 29 years at the beginning of their term of office.
The President represents the Young Pirates of Europe in the public and takes care of the regular board meetings.
The Master/Mistress of Coin is responsible for the budget and the accounts of the organization. For this purpose they shall report to the members semi-annually and examine the finances of the member associations.
The Secretary General represents the organization towards its member organizations. For this, they inform them about the decisions of the Board and organize the meetings of EPIC.
