The Conference considers that when the Commission no longer
includes nationals of all
Member States, the Commission should pay particular attention to the need to ensure
full transparency in relations with all Member States. Accordingly, the Commission
should liaise closely with all Member States, whether or not they have a national serving
as member of the Commission, and in this context pay special attention to the need to
share information and consult with all Member States.
The Conference also considers that the Commission should
take all the necessary
measures to ensure that political, social and economic realities in all Member States,
including those which have no national serving as member of the Commission, are fully
taken into account. These measures should include ensuring that the position of those
Member States is addressed by appropriate organisational arrangements.
