Work and reports of the TEWG
To enable swift and efficient work to be carried out, the
areas of consideration were divided into four sub-areas:
"Scope", "Authorisation", "Ethical
review", and "Cost-beneft analysis and Severity
classification". The TEWG was therefore split into
four sub-groups, each dealing with one of the sub-areas.
However, experts also had the possibility to contribute
to the work of any other sub-group. The final reports of
the sub-groups were submitted to the Commission at the end
of November 2003.
It
is important to note that some reports refer to a Commission
CIRCA-site (on the Internet, with restricted access). The
CIRCA-site was used by the experts for their detailed, in-depth
discussions and exchanges of views. However, the main argumentation
delivered to the Commission is available in the reports
themselves.
