Dear all,

Please find included (word, PDF and below) a draft for a Council statement on the revise terms of refence for the pilot holistic review.

As you may recall you briefly discussed on-line when agreeing to submit a statement, major concerns were addressed  and there are no major issues anymore.

As the public comment period closes Monday 27 November 23.59 UTC, It would be very helpful if you could provide feed-back, if any by Friday 24 November 2023 NOON UTC on this list. This would allow enough time to finalize the statement and submit it in time.

Kind regards,

Bart
