A.        Introduction

1.         The ad hoc Working Group entrusted with the harmonisation the definitions used by CEPEJ held its 3rd meeting, in Paris (France), with Laetitia BRUNIN (France) in the chair.

2.         The list of participants is attached in Appendix to this report.

B.        Discussions

3.         The working Group continue the discussions held at its 1st and 2nd meetings according to the same methodology of reviewing each definition. The definitions concerning alternative dispute resolution methods are also examined thanks to the participation of an expert from the CEPEJ Working Group on Mediation (CEPEJ-GT-MED).

4.         The working group agrees to submit the draft glossary thus prepared (document CEPEJ (2018)2PROV5) for comments to the CEPEJ working groups (CEPEG-GT-EVAL, CEPEJ-GT-QUAL, CEPEJ-GT-MED, SATURN) at their next meetings to be held between September and November 2018.

5.         Depending on the extent of the amendments proposed by the working groups, a final meeting of the ad hoc group on definitions could then be held in January 2019 in order to finalise the draft glossary and submit it to the CEPEJ for adoption at its plenary meeting in June 2019.

6.         The working group warmly thanks Laetitia Brunin for her excellent welcome and the perfect organisation of this meeting.
