Working groups
Article 13
1. Where justified and, in particular, in order to implement BEREC’s annual work programme, the Board of Regulators may set up working groups. 2. The Board of Regulators shall appoint the Chairs of the working groups, representing, where possible, different NRAs. 3. The working groups shall be open to the participation of experts from all the NRAs participating in the work of BEREC and the Commission. The working groups shall also be open to the participation of the staff of the BEREC Office, who shall contribute to the regulatory work of, and provide administrative support to, the working groups. In the case of the working groups which are set up to carry out the tasks referred to in point (c)(ii) of Article 4(1), the experts from the Commission shall not participate. In working groups which are set up to carry out the tasks referred to in points (c)(iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii), points (d)(i), (ii), (ix), (x) and (xi), point (j)(ii) and point (l), of Article 4(1) of this Regulation as well as, where relevant, point (c)(iii) and point (j)(i) of Article 4(1) thereof, the views of experts from other competent authorities notified pursuant to Article 5(4) of Directive (EU) 2018/1972 shall be taken into consideration. The Board of Regulators or the Chairs of the working groups may invite individual experts recognised as competent in the relevant field to participate in the working group meetings if necessary on a case-by-case basis. 4. The Board of Regulators shall adopt rules of procedure laying down the practical arrangements for the operation of the working groups.
