Each Member State is presently preparing the directories, glossaries and handbook which will be needed by other Member States to operate the new system. Once these are available we shall finalise our plans for implementation, and a Consultation Paper containing details of our proposals will then be published. That paper will be circulated to those already consulted and be generally available to anyone with an interest in the proposals.
