  1. ITEMS DISCUSSED Updates from RMLOs Update of actions from last year – survey conducted by COOMET / WELMEC questionnaire Future role of Round Table Terms of Reference and secretariat responsibilities Ideas for future activities 1

  2. Options for the future of the RLMO Round Table Is a Round Table needed at all ? RLMOs are very different. Is it sufficient for each just to have a bilateral relationship with the OIML? A network sharing information and updates. A group which commits to specific activities and supervises a secretariat which conducts these. An advisory group which takes an interest in specific items in the OIML work programme, e.g. Matters of interest to developing countries. 2

  3. IDEAS FOR FUTURE ACTION: • Exchange information about training and other needs related to legal metrology - Survey to be conducted by COOMET • Act as network for suggesting suitable trainers • Exchange information about the role of legal metrology in the various free trade agreements around the world. • Comment on items in BIML Work Programme related to developing countries. 3

  4. CONCLUSIONS • The RLMO Round Table should be maintained, with a review of its objectives. • The activities of the RLMO Round Table are: • A network sharing experiences • A group which commits to specific activities and supervises a secretariat which conducts these. • An advisory group which takes an interest in specific items in the OIML work programme, e.g. Matters of interest to developing countries. 4

  5. CONCLUSIONS (continued) There is a need for continuity in secretariat – BIML to assist here Use website more dynamically - eg to identify the contact persons for the RLMOs in the Round Table. Review the Terms Of Reference (The BIML will convene this review by correspondence). 5

  6. CONCLUSIONS (continued) • Future work will focus on (1) COOMET survey and (2) study of legal metrology role in local free trade agreements • Standing invitation to RMLOs to put forward new ideas • BIML to inform Round Table members of relevant items in their work programme • Chair to remain with OIML until role and work programme established (2013?). 6
