• Notes
  Mr. Birch pointed out that, probably because of a lack of resources, there was a need for RLMOs to be in communication with each other about their programs. In addition it would perhaps be appropriate to define the role of RLMOs as distinct from the OIML and Development Council roles. It would also be necessary to make sure that duplication is avoided e.g. in the development of training courses. In order to implement these views the APLMF had tried to share information with other RLMOs by inviting them to attend Asia-Pacific meetings and reacting positively to invitations of this kind from other RLMOs and providing them with reports concerning APLMF activities. Similar cooperation amongst RLMOs should exist in the field of intercomparisons owing to the cost of such actions and to the fact that intercomparisons should probably be carried out at regional level. The utilization of common test facilities, and therefore their accessibility, should also be of interest for RLMOs. Mr. Birch concluded by pointing out the role of RLMOs in the implementation of OIML Recommendations and in the establishment of a global measurement system. RLMOs therefore need to interact.
