the project consists mainly of tasks which require the active and continuous input by staff such as the organisation of meetings and management processes for exchange of information or best practices, consultation and coordination mechanisms, training or education of staff and programmes for the secondment and exchange of staff.

They will cover activities such as the organisation of conferences, meetings, the performance of studies, exchanges of personnel, the exchange and dissemination of good practices, setting up information systems and expert groups, and may, if necessary, include support for the definition, organisation and management of joint or common initiatives.

It therefore calls on Member States to improve substantially these exchanges of information to allow sufficient time to modify electoral rolls, while respecting rules on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data (the EU Directive on personal data protection (95/46/EC) is due to be implemented no later than 24 October 1998).
