Working Group of Legal Experts
The working group of legal experts was set up by the Secretary General. It is made up of representatives from all of OTIF’s Member States and the regional economic integration organisations that have acceded to COTIF. It is convened by the Secretary General.
The working group of legal experts has a purely advisory role in the legal area. It is there to assist all OTIF’s other organs that submit legal questions to it. It is also responsible for ensuring effective management of the Convention and, in particular, monitoring and assessing the application of its implementation. It may also prepare draft amendments to COTIF and submit them to the competent organs.
The working group of legal experts thus acts as a forum and think-tank for its members.
