2. Some issues Cooperation between the Committees and the Expert Group:
please cooperate closely
please avoid introducing already discussed or completely new technical issues through the Committee consultations – all this should have been discussed in the expert group first
otherwise: inefficient ping-pong
Please use English in technical comments / feedback & also try to convince you Committee delegates to do so
