At its Second Annual Session, the CSCE Parliamentary Assembly urged the Council of Ministers to pursue a more active policy, particularly by adopting the following working principles:
- greater speed in the decision-making process
- a decision-making procedure which no longer requires consensus or "consensus minus one"
- an internal balance avoiding any supremacy or domination by a group of participating States
- strengthening internal institutional coherence
It also called on the Council of Ministers to set up a Council of Permanent Representatives with headquarters in Vienna to prepare for Ministerial meetings and follow up with their decisions.
