22. Is convinced that the central elements guiding the reform of the Security Council must be the strengthening of its authority, the truly representative nature of all geographic areas, legitimacy, effectiveness and its primary role in the maintenance of international peace and security; is convinced of the need to change the composition of the Security Council in a way that takes into account the changed state of the international system as well as current geopolitical realities, by increasing the number of developing countries in the Council, by ensuring that its members are willing and able to act when action is needed, and by emplo ...[+++]ying more effective and transparent working methods; considers that the two proposals (Models A and B) by the High-level Panel adequately reflect such better representation, although other reform proposals are also possible, and emphasises that an EU seat in the UN Security Council remains the aim for the EU as soon as the political, constitutional and legal conditions for such a seat are met;

They must comply either with the Community public procurement directives in cases where the contract awarding the SGEI falls within their scope or with the general principles of the Treaty, notably as regards transparency, non-discrimination and competition, in cases where the procedures for awarding the SGEI are not covered by those directives.

The d'Hondt method is an example of the method of divisors (it is based on the series of divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., until the seats to be filled have all been distributed. It was in 1882 that Victor d'Hondt, a professor of law at the University of Ghent, presented a system for allocating seats to different political groups in Belgium, thus permitting proportional representation. The method had a great future ahead of it, because many Member States of the European Union now use it, in both national and European elections, to distribute seats among the different lists/candidates standing.

First, the OSCE team was struck by how different the elections were in each State, noting variances in the methods of distributing seats, the possibility to cast preferential votes, the allocation of vacant seats, electoral systems, franchise, candidature, nomination of candidates, constituencies and polling days.

In 2002 the Council modified the 1976 Act in order to codify the introduction everywhere of proportional representation, to allow explicitly STV and preferential voting, to cater for territorial constituencies, to fix a maximum threshold of 5 per cent, to phase out the dual mandate, and to let national law apply to the withdrawal of mandates and the filling of vacancies.
