I move amendment No. 9:

In page 21, to delete lines 21 and 22 and substitute the following:“(i) be established following consultation with trade unions representing employees of the technological university, where the matters in dispute relate to staff, or with the Students’ Union where the matters in dispute relate to students,”.

These amendments are self-explanatory. The purpose of amendment No. 9 is to delete lines 21 and 22 and to substitute them with provisions for consultation with the trade unions representing employees where the matters in dispute relate to staff or with the student unions where the matters in dispute relate to students. The purpose of amendment No. 10 is to delete lines 25 and 26 and to substitute them with the phrase "be published in such manner as the technological university considers appropriate jointly agreed by the parties concerned".
