This amendment follows the publication language used in section 39 on the specification by the conduct committee of procedures relating to matters such as the making and investigation of complaints. It goes without saying that the adoption in this context implies publication. However, having regard to the fact that the Bill does not explicitly mandate publication, it seems desirable in the interests of transparency to make a clear statement on the matter.

A similar provision is being made in amendment No. 8 to section 7, as far as the guidelines are concerned.
