November 15, 2001 Division of Tasks and Responsibilities In general, the team leader in each country is responsible for the output and conduct of research in that country, including co-ordinating their own national team. The team leader of each country is obliged to come to project meetings, or to send a substitute. If the team leader is for some reason unable to discharge their responsibilities, they should contact the project co-ordinator and in consultation with them develop some contingency plan as soon as possible. However, we should note that all teams are responsible directly to the European Commission for the conduct of the work. The co-ordinator should be kept informed about any alternative arrangements to those set out in the contract and agreed between partners at project meetings. Problems should first of all be referred to the Co-ordinator and Management Committee for internal consultation within the project before the matter is referred to the Commission, at which stage the contract could be terminated (as set out in Annex 2 of the contract). If the team leader leaves the project for whatever reason, it is necessary to contact the co-ordinator and to develop an alternative plan of action either BEFORE they leave or WITHIN ONE MONTH after they have left. In any dispute between project partners (between teams), the Management Committee has final decision-making powers. In any dispute within project teams, where it might affect the work of the project, there should be some consultation with the Co-ordinator and the Management Committee. Any changes that might affect the conduct of the project should be notified to the co-ordinator as soon as possible (as set out in Annex 2 of the contract). Division of Responsibilities There shall be a Management Committee which is responsible for resolving disputes, dealing with problems, planning and co-ordinating the project beyond the day-to-day responsibilities of the Co-ordinator. There shall be a Technical Committee which is responsible for the technical administration and construction of the questionnaire and the data analysis. These committees will meet as necessary at times in addition to main project meetings. 3
