Item 14.— Mr. André Van Ommeren, representing the Chair of GT4, informed on the development of the EUROSAI Strategic Plan 2017-2023 (ESP). GT4 had prepared a roadmap to show the next steps. Ms. Stuiveling indicated that the outcomes of the self- assessment and the 2 nd Young EUROSAI will also be taken into account when developing the new ESP. Mr. Karamollaoglu, from the SAI of Turkey, commented on the current ESP and structure and the overlaps that, in his opinion, exist between the GTs and WGs and need to be considered when the new ESP is developed. Ms. Archana Shirsat, representative of IDI, offered support in the development of the new Strategic Plan, taking into account its experience on strategic plans and on supporting INTOSAI Regional Working Groups. Ms. Monika González-Koss, INTOSAI Director of Strategic Planning, offered the results of the internal and external scans conducted by the INTOSAI Task Force for Strategic Planning. Mr. Vítor Caldeira asked if the stakeholders will be addressed in the ESP process and reflected on the possibility of obtaining input from citizens. Item 15.— Several issues were presented by the Secretary General regarding the follow up of EUROSAI cooperation with INTOSAI RWG: • • The 2 nd ASOSAI-EUROSAI Joint Conference was held in Moscow in September 2014. Regarding the cooperation with ASOSAI, it would be advisable to widen the scope for participants in future events and not to limit the participation to the GB of both organisations. • • The monitoring by the Secretariat of the postponement of the 5 th ARABOSAI-EUROSAI Joint Conference by the SAI of Qatar and the new dates offered by the host; 7-9 December 2015. • • Mr. Álvarez de Miranda García recalled the reflections made in the past years by the Secretariat on how to improve cooperation with other INTOSAI RWG and make it more dynamic and fruitful. He proposed to apply to the 5th ARABOSAI-EUROSAI Joint Conference the same approach as the one being used for the 8 th OLACEFS- EUROSAI Joint Conference in Quito, Ecuador in June 2015. 43 rd EUROSAI Governing Board Meeting (Helsinki)
