Information from the Disciplinary Committee

The Disciplinary Committee informs all epi Members about the installation of the new fixed 11 Chambers.

Please note that the Chair of a Chamber is entitled to change the functions of the Members within the Chairs Chamber as the case may seem useful.

All Members of a Chamber including the Substitute Member (Alternate Member) are independent in reaching their decision, are bound to confidentiality and are fully documented about a case to be dealt with in said Chamber.

The Substitute Member (Alternate Member) may substitute any of the Members, Rapporteurs or Chairs - as the case may be- within those Chambers they are related to.

The Chair of the Disciplinary Committee – when he composes the fixed Chambers – is responsible that every Member of the Disciplinary Committee serves at all available positions over the time.

In case Members of the Disciplinary Committee leave the Disciplinary Committee (e.g. at the end of a period) while a case of the Chamber of said Members is not yet finished, the Chair nominates new available Members to substitute said Chamber to the degree necessary, so that said case can be finished by said Chamber efficiently. This is a change of the past long standing practice.
