The Committee expressed the view that some of the project proposals considered were not appropriately prepared and did not contain all needed information to allow proper consideration and technical appraisal. However, the Committee recognized that the Panel mechanism set by the Council has contributed significantly to improve most of the project
proposals and that it seems to be an effective tool to assist the Committee with the technical appraisal of projects.
The Committee also considered two project ideas:
