Article 7 Written procedure

If necessary, the group’s opinion on a specific question may be delivered via a written procedure. To this end, the secretariat sends the group members the drafts on which the group is being consulted and any other working documents.

However, if a simple majority of group members asks for the question to be examined at a meeting of the group, the written procedure shall be terminated without result and the Chair shall convene a meeting of the group as soon as possible.
