Ad hoc expert groups
The Ministerial Conference
which took place in Strasbourg on 3-4 November 2010 introduced a new structure
of the activities based on ad hoc expert groups.
Ad hoc expert groups serve as task forces in the PG’s activities that provide multi-disciplinary expertise on specific questions and topics. They act as task forces who support PCs in deciding on taking action of identified subjects and issues. They deliver specifically defined results to PCs within a set period of time. The tasks are set out in specific terms of reference for each ad hoc group.
The ad hoc expert groups are answerable to the
PCs. The Bureau ensures the overall supervision of the
work of the ad hoc expert groups, initiatives and
networks. They report on a regular basis on the progress
of work to a designated Bureau member who acts as the
liaison contact to the Bureau and the PCs. Upon
completion of their tasks the ad hoc groups report the
results of their work to the PCs within the prescribed
timeframe.
