The Commission decides on its opinions and reports by a majority of the votes of the members present or represented. In the event of a tie, the Chairman has the casting vote.

If a member does not express an opinion on the minutes one month after they have been sent to him/her, approval is deemed to have been given. The minutes shall indicate the names of all the bodies represented as well as the members appointed in a personal capacity, the issues dealt with during the meeting and the meaning of each of the opinions. Any member of the committee may request that a statement be made to the effect that he or she disagrees with the opinion delivered.
