Recital 23

(23) The Commission should chair the Board and provide its secretariat. Each Member State should appoint a representative and an alternate representative. The Chair should invite a representative from the European Parliament as a permanent observer. In order to receive relevant advice on the activities of the Board and allow appropriate participation of experts, the Chair should be able to invite experts to take part, as observers, in the work of the Board and to attend specific meetings, on an ad-hoc basis, where such attendance is relevant considering the agenda of the meeting. With a view to ensuring a coherent and coordinated Union response to various crises which might have an impact on the functioning of the internal market, the Chair should also invite representatives of other crisis-relevant bodies at Union level as observers to the relevant meetings of the Board. With a view to promoting international cooperation, the Chair should invite representatives of international organisations and countries outside the Union to take part in relevant meetings of the Board in accordance with the relevant bilateral or international agreements. The Chair should be able to invite observers to contribute to the discussions with relevant expertise, information and insights, but observers should not take part in the formulation of opinions, recommendations or advice of the Board.
