This meeting will be convened and chaired by the representative of the State chairing the Committee of Senior Officials.
14. The Committee of Senior Officials will consider these recommendations and take the necessary decisions at its first meeting.
The first director of each institution will be nominated by the first meeting of the Committee of Senior Officials and confirmed by the Council through a silence procedure within one week.
