BT N 9012
Lars-Gunnar Lundh, SIS, as member of the ISO/TMB presented this topic (related to BT Action 3.2.1 'To
improve the link with ISO'). The BT Chairman gave further background to the proposals made in the document
circulated as BT N 9012.
NBN expressed objections and surprise at recommendations 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 in Annex to BT N 9012.
The BT Chairman recalled that some aspects of the Vienna Agreement which give undue preference to
European members have caused some serious problems. There is a need to agree on fair compromises. CEN
should be well advised to follow these recommendations which are a result of long and difficult discussions with
non-European ISO members.
After an exchange of views, the recommendations were accepted, noting that the resulting implementing
measures should be considered by the joint group between ISO/TMB and CEN/BT.
DECISION BT 29/2012 (72 nd BT item: 6.4.1)
Subject: Vienna Agreement – Final Report of the ISO/TMB Vienna Agreement Task Force (VATF)
BT,
having considered
- the report of the ISO/TMB Vienna Agreement Task Force (VATF) in Annex 1 to BT N 9012;
- ISO/TMB Resolution 112/2012 requesting that the report be circulated to CEN/BT for comment and approval;
- that most of the recommendations 3.1 to 3.9 included in this report do not require CEN/BT approval;
- that, however, the implementation of some recommendations would impact CEN and its processes as well as ISO
and its processes;
- the ISO/TMB decision to create an Editing Team Task Force (ETTF) whose mandate will be to work in close
cooperation with the CEN/BT to implement recommendations 3.1 to 3.9 contained in the final report of the VATF;
agrees in principle with recommendations 3.1 to 3.9;
asks ISO/TMB to transform the ISO/TMB ‘Editing Team Task Force’ into an ISO/TMB – CEN/BT group to prepare
concrete implementing measures for approval by ISO/TMB and/or CEN/BT, as necessary.
This decision is applicable as from: 2012-10-24
