New Questionnaire

SC7 has decided to create a new questionnaire. It was felt that a new simplified form might encourage the usage of the central data bank. While the main use of the data bank is to give the addresses where one can find legal information about a specific case, and where to find the legal record required, the new questionnaire will be focus on some major details.

The present data bank contains the following 8 subjects that can be used to form the new questionnaire:

1) Name of the country;
2) Name of the IFATCA MA;
3) Name and Position of Contact person;
4) Contact addressee, tel, fax, email;
5) Case and Judgement date;
6) Case facts in brief;
7) The central issues of the case;
8) Reason for deciding;
9) Remarks.

Information of the form above will indicate the nature of the case and identify the relevant cases. It will contain the address to contact for further details. In order that the data bank is of maximum use to MAs, SC7 requests that all relevant information on cases affecting controllers is passed to the Standing Committee.
