7. Bearing in mind that the legal framework of the EC/Canada agreement is from a content point of view substantially better than the EC/USA agreement and that these improvements have been recognised by the Article 29 WG and by the EDPS, your rapporteur proposes:

The first witness was Ms. Sheila Fraser, the Auditor General of Canada, who explained the findings of her recent audit of the use of Treasury Board Vote The hearings continued on 1 May 2002, when Mr. Richard J. Neville (Deputy Comptroller General, Comptrollership Branch) and Mr. David Bickerton (Executive Director, Expenditure Operations and Estimates Directorate, Comptrollership Branch) answered a number of technical questions on Vote 5.

The proposal under consideration takes the form of an interinstitutional agreement and aims at determining two aspects of the regulations and the general conditions governing the performance of the Data Protection Supervisor that were not laid down in Regulation No 45/2001, the remuneration of the Supervisor and the seat of the body.
