Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Believes that similar procedures, establishing an alternative model featuring a predetermined number of seats for the various stakeholder organisations, would constitute a significant improvement compared with the traditional process of standards development in support of EU policies and legislation; maintains that, despite the current difficulties in generalising the use of such a multi-stakeholder model, this approach the use of such a model should be explored by the ESOs without delay as an alternative for the drafting of standards in areas of exceptional public interest, in order to ensure a balanced decision-making process; proposes that the 98/34 Committee (or its successor) should decide, when considering a mandate, whether to use this alternative model if the standard in question makes it vital to secure broader stakeholder participation; invites the European Commission to propose means through which it would ensure the participation of stakeholders in the alternative model is financed; stresses that such a model would not affect the national delegation principle, as the draft standard would continue to be examined by national mirror committees and adopted on a weighted vote by the national standards bodies (NSBs);
