Appointments to the expert advisory body are to be made by the Government on the nomination of the Minister for terms of up to three years, with eligibility for reappointment. In appointing ordinary members, regard must be had to the range of qualifications, expertise and experience necessary for the proper and effective performance by the expert advisory body of its functions. This is important if the body is to be effective and recognised as a sound source of impartial advice. Administrative support for the body is to be provided by the EPA.
