On 18-19 September 2008 an Extraordinary Joint Meeting of the Administrative Board and the Budget Committee of the OHIM was held on the subject ”How to better balance OHIM’s budget – the way forward”. A summary of the proposals put forward at that meeting appears on the MARQUES website here, as well as on the OHIM website here. MARQUES is now studying the proposals in order to take a position on them later this week.
