2.1. On further work and on how to make best use of the time until Easter and make as much progress as possible, the Chairman said that the group should - as suggested by several delegations - use this period to clean up the text, in preparing for any horizontal process that might begin in the context of the wider process after Easter. In that regard, he said that he had his own ideas and considered it his preserve to use any format of consultations that he felt would be appropriate in view of the overall process. Absent any suggestions from Members, he said he would continue his group consultations, to be followed by transparency meetings.
