Meetings
Council meets several times a year. Where necessary, video and teleconferencing are used at other times to consider particular matters.
The Council is chaired in rotation for a calendar year by each of the member governments.
Council occasionally issues information statements/press releases which are authorised by the Chair and which summarise major decisions taken at the meeting.
