If I may, Madam Chair, the language has not changed. We have read the proceedings of your meetings, and I know that some NGOs have made lists of the words used. For us, it is important to communicate to specific audiences. The words change according to the audiences. What we want to do is ensure that we are using the clearest language possible for the people listening to us. For example, in a UN context, we use language that matches the conventions.
As regards the meeting that was convened, attendance was entirely consistent with that type of meeting. The officers identified as the addressees are the directors general who head up the various units in the department involved. It was our responsibility to liaise with our colleagues.
