The National Concertation Committee shall issue its opinions by a majority of the members present. If a vote is taken, only the staff representatives with voting rights shall take part. Voting is by show of hands. Abstentions are permitted.
In the event of a unanimously unfavourable opinion of the staff representatives present with voting rights on a draft text, this draft shall be re-examined. A new deliberation is organised within a period of not less than eight days and not more than thirty days. The new notice of meeting is sent to the members of the Committee within a period of at least eight days. The committee then sits validly regardless of the number of staff representatives present. It may not be called upon to deliberate again using the same procedure.
