Those procedures should be simplified allowing administrative decisions to be taken at the appropriate level.\n(3)\nTo avoid confusion with daily allowances paid to private experts invited by the Commission, the additional allowances to be allocated in accordance with Decision 2005/629/EC to STECF members and external experts participating in meetings of the STECF, should be named ‘compensation’.\n(4)\nDecision 2005/629/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
