The costs of expert groups continued to remain low in the first six months of the biennium mainly because there were fewer Compliance Committee meetings than planned. This was in part due to the extensive use of electronic means of decision-making, which reduced the number of face-to-face meetings that needed to be organized for the Compliance Committee.
Les coûts des groupes d &apos; experts sont restés modiques pendant les six premiers mois de l &apos; exercice, essentiellement parce que le nombre des réunions du Comité de contrôle du respect des dispositions a baissé, en partie en raison de l &apos; utilisation accrue d &apos; instruments électroniques pour la prise des décisions.
