RWG: Towards a North Sea Wide Risk Assessment Conclusion of NSHC 31 reflects that: • (1) each MS has its own survey strategy, based on the physics of its part of the North Sea, the particularities of usage, and its own capacities; • (2) it is necessary to verify the consistency of the national strategies; • (3) RWG is expected to undertake an analysis for the entire NSHC region, in line with recent developments on risk assessment. 6 NSHC report 8 IRCC, May 2016

Procedures to select representatives to the Council (IRCC 7/26) • Issue. Use of the word “representative”. What does representation or even selection by a RHC imply? • Two decision points. • DP 1: the wording: “Representative of the NSHC” or “Member States selected by the NSHC”. • DP 2: the meaning: take into account certain findings of the region or of its Member States fully autonomous. • The latter: why vote? 19 NSHC report 8 IRCC, May 2016
