The Commission accepts all six of the Parliamentary amendments tabled at second reading. The first set of amendments determines what type of committee should assist the Commission. It was a compromise solution and represents a balance whereby the "communications committee" and the "ONP committee" will support the Commission. The second set of amendments relate to the registration method. A new recital makes reference to the "first come first serve" principle. The third set of amendments clarify the obligations of the Registry. Since the amendments voted on were a compromise reached between the institutions the conciliation procedure will not be invoked. Final adoption is foreseen in March 2002 following verification of the texts by the jurist-linguists.�
