Participants scrutinised a draft of the report and provided valuable feedback over the structure thereof. During this meeting, participants exchanged views in particular over the level of detail in which the final report should cover the principles identified. The comprehensiveness of the report was also discussed in relation to the set of informal rules - in addition to legal ones - that the principle of the rule of law encompasses.

Participants further provided their perspective as to the inclusion of rules deriving from international law in addition to national and European Union law. It was agreed to continue the drafting through working groups dedicated to individual principles, with the aim of feeding the discussion into plenary meetings of the members of the Project Team and Advisory Committee.
