Karen, could you send him a reminder by the end of today if no news? This is getting tight…

Christian,

Yesterday we received the comments from Public Concern at Work and we have analysed the comments of both Transparency International and PCaW (see enclosed read-out tables).

We have taken on board a limited number of comments – most of their comments were due to a lack of knowledge of our rules (SR articles, duty of loyalty and discretion etc). Enclosed (first document) the guidelines after insertion of the (in our view) acceptable comments. Some other comments can be addressed in FAQ's that we are preparing separately.

Please let us know if you agree. We think an adoption of these guidelines on 27 June could be envisaged – this to avoid the 'summer rush' and to be able to communicate in July (we need to report to the EP on our awareness-raising actions in September). But this means we need to act relatively quickly.

Kind regards, and happy to discuss,

René
