The PRB should be supported by a secretariat provided by the Commission. For the purpose of preparing the content and orientations of the opinions, recommendations, reports and guidance material of the PRB, the secretariat should act without taking any directives except from the PRB itself in order to enable the PRB to fulfil its advisory role and to ensure the PRB independence. The main task of the secretariat should be to contribute to the independent execution of the tasks of the PRB.
