10.5 Submitting

In order to influence the negotiations, it is not only important to write position papers and draft texts that have specific bearing on the negotiation text, but it is important to submit them to the Secretariat as Misc. documents before the negotiation commences and as non-papers and CRP during the negotiations. It is vital to respect the deadline and to have one submission per subject. Submit the text electronically as this facilitates the process.
