Hearings
A committee may organise a hearing with experts when this is considered essential to its work on a particular subject. Hearings can also be held jointly by two or more committees. In addition to their regular or recurring hearings (e.g. Monetary Dialogue), committees may also hold ad hoc hearings on specific topics.
