  6. Item 3.3 • How to motivate other Departments in a country to actively participate in the OIML Work ? • This issue was the object of an exchange of views. • Indeed the OIML Treaty as well as the TBT Agreement make it mandatory to use OIML Recommendations. • However this depends on good diplomatic skills from the CIML Member. • This is the role of the CIML Member, being the representative of the OIML in his country

  7. Item 3.3 • Training • The web pages set up by the Bureau on training were presented (http://workgroups.oiml.org/training) • These pages allow Regional bodies and training bodies to directly upload information on their activities and on planned training courses • Regional bodies are invited to update these pages as frequently as needed, and to invite training bodies to do so. • The issue of exchange of training material (including videos) was also extensively discussed.

  8. Item 3.3 • Access to funding • The issue of access to funding was also discussed. • The awareness of UNIDO on metrology is high. However, except for less developed countries, UNIDO works mainly on countries voluntary contributions and not on its own funds. • The awareness of other international donor organizations on metrology still needs to be raised. How to present the contributions of a metrology infrastructure has to be addressed. • These donor organizations develop programmes that they define, they are generally not open to individual requests of countries concerning metrology infrastructure

  9. Item 3.3 • Conclusions from the Chair of this Round Table • Mr. Pu Changcheng (P.R. China), Chair of this Round Table, concluded the meeting. • This Round Table allowed extensive and lively exchange of views and information. • The issue of training is a major issue for Regional Organizations and specially for Developing Countries. The work on this issue must actively be continued by the Bureau and Regional bodies must provide contributions to it.
