Also were taken into account all the proposals made by experts of the Council of Europe. Some offers of experts contradicted principles of the Council of Europe, and therefore, amendments also have been brought in them.

Expert of the Council of Europe Floor Torhalsson has noted, that acceptance of the offers on the project, brought by structure represented by him, is the positive fact, and the organization very much appreciates it.
