Article 6

The opinion of the Committee may be sought by means of a written procedure at the initiative of the Bank and with the prior agreement of the Chairman.

Where a proposal is submitted through written procedure, the Bank shall submit it together with all relevant supporting documents. If, within three weeks following the submission of a proposal, a Member State representative has not cast a negative vote, he shall be deemed to have voted in favour of the proposal.

If discussion at a meeting of the Committee is specifically requested by one of its members not later than five working days before expiry of the three-week period referred to in the paragraph 2, the proposal shall be submitted in the next scheduled meeting of the Committee. In exceptional cases of particular urgency, the Bank may then request that an extraordinary meeting of the Committee be convened by the Chairman pursuant to Article 2.
