Working Groups

There are three working groups which respectively cover: food-related issues, information society, and intellectual property issues. The Working Groups are chaired by a Co-Chair from each side of the Atlantic who, inter alia, facilitate electronic or meeting discussions, agree workplans in consultation with their members, and participate in media and representation work as appropriate. The working groups develop and produce common TACD policy positions which are reached by consensus. They communicate by electronic means as well as holding periodic meetings of either all or representative group members.
