Working methods

     The   Chairman   will  pave  the  way  for  the  opening  of  the
Convention`s  proceedings  by  drawing  conclusions  from  the  public
debate. The Praesidium will serve to lend impetus and will provide the
Convention with an initial working basis.
     The  Praesidium  may  consult Commission officials and experts of
its  choice on any technical aspect which it sees fit to look into. It
may set up ad hoc working parties.
     The  Council  will  be  kept  informed  of  the  progress  of the
Convention`s proceedings.
     The Convention Chairman will give an oral progress report at each
European  Council  meeting, thus enabling Heads of State or Government
to give their views at the same time.
     The   Convention   will   meet   in  Brussels.  The  Convention`s
discussions  and  all official documents will be in the public domain.
The Convention will work in the Union`s eleven working languages.
