Notes: 1. Each report is valued at 2 points, each opinion at 1 point. The report/opinion is attributed to the bidder with the lowest quota. 2. At the beginning of a legislative period, when a group asking for a report/opinion has not yet used any points, it is obviously not possible to divide the number of members by 0. In this case, during that initial period, the number of points for a report/opinion is added to the total of all groups bidding for the report/opinion and calculations are then made as indicated above. 3. When two or more groups bidding for a report/opinion have equal quotas, precedence goes to the group with the highest number of committee Members
1 As not all groups have used points, 2 points are added to each group's total under Note 2 (above) 2 As not all groups have used points, 1 point is added to each group's total under Note 2 (above) 3 Proposed Directive on disclosure of income tax information by certain undertakings and branches 4 Annual Report on the Financial Activities of the European Investment Bank 5 Promoting gender equality in mental health and clinical research PE583.885v01-00 12/16 PV\1095660EN.doc EN
