The Commission has now decided to extend the membership of the advisory group, in particular in order to include certain unrepresented sectors. Following a call for expressions of interest, nine additional bodies have been selected.












(5)


All members of the advisory group have equal status.












(6)


It is appropriate to confirm the 36 current members of the advisory group, and, in addition, to appoint the 9 newly selected members,





HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
