ETHICS COMMITTEE

The Management Board agreed that Finance would establish an Ethics Committee effective from 1 July 2001. It will act as a reference committee for high-level ethical issues within the Department and be a forum for the discussion and resolution of ethical issues that arise from time to time. The Committee will meet on an ad hoc basis. All matters for consideration will be referred to it by, or through, the Secretary, any General Manager, or the Management Board. Its membership will consist, in the first instance, of the Secretary on an ex-officio basis, and Alastair Hodgson, Jan Mason, Phillip Prior and Lembit Suur.
