  • identify the best possible solutions that can be proposed in a concerted or separate effort in order to achieve the intended goal of full implementation of the Association Agreements;
  • draw up recommendations or motions for resolution to be submitted to the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly, if instructed by the Bureau.
