Mediation Grammar is a collection of minimum requirements for enforcing the informational rights of foreign (non-EU) immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees legally entitled to stay in the territory of a Member State of the European Union. 

​

The Mediation Grammar has been officially published on the webpage of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) as a CEN WS AGREEMENT. Before being published, the Mediation Grammar went through a formal procedure to receive recognition from the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). To facilitate the endorsement of Mediation Grammar as a European standardization document, a series of meetings with individuals and stakeholders from relevant institutions were conducted. The outcome of these deliberations is the final CWA - CEN Workshop Agreement (CEN/WS 116- CWA) which can be downloaded here. 

Before becoming final, the draft "CWA - CEN Workshop Agreement" was available for commenting and public consultation on the CEN website for 30 days. 

The public consultation provided: 

1. a valuable opportunity for concerned parties and interested individuals to contribute to the improvement of the document; 

2. the possibility to register, which gives the right to sign the final document before it becomes a fundamental prescriptive tool for service providers.

​

How could any interested party contribute?

If they were already registered as a participant

Each person's invaluable contribution has played a significant role in the ongoing efforts to transform Mediation Grammar into a tool for inclusion and to enhance the ability of immigrants to exercise their rights. In light of this, we cordially invited all the stakeholders to give a final review of the document:

1. read the draft of the CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA)

2. use the commenting form downloadable directly from the CEN website to express their thoughts, comments, and insights on the draft CWA

3. submit the form by emailing it to the workshop secretary Mario Gallo (mario.gallo@uni.com) by 14 April 2023

If they were not already registered as a participant

To officially participate in this effort to provide a standard to enable migrants integration, one should have registered on his/her organization's behalf or as an individual. In this way, one was enabled to send his/her comments and gain the right to sign the final document as a proponent of its adoption. This also helped receive further communication and relevant documents:

1. fill out the registration form downloadable on this link 

2. send the completed registration form to the workshop secretary Mario Gallo by 14 April 2023 (mario.gallo@uni.com)
