Council requested the Secretary-General to assist Madagascar implement the recommendations and, in conjunction with the Panel, provide Sixteenth Congress an update on the status of this RTC. In endorsing the reconfirmations the Council recalled the request of EC-LVIII that the EC Criteria for the recognition of RTCs be strictly applied when assessing new or existing training institutions.
