The of the discussions was to outline the operation of these frameworks and highlight some crucial differences between them and the EU arrangements.

- Cath Howdle, Deputy Director, Legal and Executive Affairs, EFTA Surveillance Authority
- Georges Baur, Assistant Secretary General, EFTA
- Hannes Boner, General Counsel, Sappi Europe (SEU)
