This public hearing is intended to provide AFCO Members an opportunity to discuss with experts in the field the role and competences of a European electoral authority, namely the monitoring of the implementation of the guidelines and provisions related to the European electoral law.

Three experts have been invited to take the floor and share their insight and thoughts with Members:
- Professor Luciano Bardi, Professor (political science and international relations), European University Institute, Florence;
- Ph.D., D.Litt. Magdalena Bainczyk, University Professor at Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University and Chief Analyst at Institute for Western Affairs, Poznan;
- Doctor Georg Thiel, Federal Returning Officer and President of the Federal Statistics Office (German Federal Republic), Wiesbaden.
