Article 121 Functions of the CC

1. The Consultative Committee shall have the following functions:

1.1. Examines documents and reports of the Council of Administration and the Postal Operations Council.

The case-bycase situations shall be reported to the Council of Administration, and to the Postal Operations Council when matters of interest to the Postal Operations Council are concerned. If it considers this necessary, the Council of Administration may subsequently review restrictions, in consultation with the Postal Operations Council, where appropriate.

1.3. Considers issues affecting the postal services sector and issues reports on such issues.

1.4. Provides input to the work of the Council of Administration and the Postal Operations Council, including submitting reports and recommendations and giving opinions at the request of the two Councils.

1.5. Makes recommendations to Congress, subject to the approval of the Council of Administration and, when matters of interest to the Postal Operations Council are involved, subject to examination and comment by the Postal Operations Council.
