      No 7/20/COL
      of 11 February 2020
      to amend the Rules of Procedure [2020/482]
      THE EFTA SURVEILLANCE AUTHORITY
      Having regard to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice, and in particular Article 13 thereof;
      Whereas it appears desirable to clarify certain aspects of the Rules of Procedure to ensure a clearer delineation between the deliberations of College, which are confidential pursuant to their Article 10, and the items recorded in the minutes of College meetings;
      HAS DECIDED TO:
      
                  1.
               
               
                  Amend Article 9 of the Rules of Procedure by adding:
                  
                              (a)
                           
                           
                              the words ‘for the first meeting of every month thereafter’ at the end of the last sentence of the first paragraph;
                           
                        
                              (b)
                           
                           
                              the sentence ‘The draft agenda shall be and shall remain confidential.’ after the first sentence of the second paragraph; and
                           
                        
                              (c)
                           
                           
                              the words ‘to remove an item from the draft agenda, or’ after the second comma in the fourth paragraph of that Article.
                           
                        
            
                  2.
               
               
                  Amend Article 11 of the Rules of Procedure by adding the following text as a new paragraph after the first paragraph of that Article:
                  ‘The minutes shall be based on the agenda as approved at the beginning of the meeting and record the substantive decisions in respect of the items on the agenda, i.e. normally whether a proposal has been adopted, rejected or deferred, as well as any items taken note of.’
               
            
         This decision shall take effect upon adoption.
         Done at Brussels, 11 February 2020.
