Concluding comments
• The working group will attempt to give more importance to the report text
• This means that the country answers to those questions that are not directly related to the scorecard indicators are of a great importance – they will serve for the analytical part of the report
• The National reports on Improvement of recognition will also be analysed and reflected in the text of Stocktaking report
