Recommendation: The Sub-Committee recommends that the Commission be accredited
status A.
The Sub-Committee notes the following:
(1)

body”, in particular to the importance of having in the founding legal documents a
broad and formal consultation process in the selection and appointment of members.
(2)
It also refers to General Observation “Guarantee of tenure for members of governing
bodies” to highlight the need to entrench transparent and objective criteria for the
dismissal of the Commission members in the founding legal documents.
(3)
It further refers to General Observation “Staffing by secondment” to highlight the
importance of amending the legislation to allow the Commission to recruit its own
staff.
