Abstract

This submission contains two sections. In Section 1, we make some brief comments on the Draft Guidelines (DGs), focusing on the points where our views differ from the Commission’s document, and identify areas for improvement. In Section 2, we offer some recommendations that the European Commission (EC) might want to consider when revising the Guidelines.
