Focus Group on Accounting rate reform​

In 1998, Study Group 3 agreed to establish a Focus Group in order to study a possible scheduled reduction of accounting rate. The Focus Group’s task was to propose transitional arrangements towards cost orientation beyond 1998. Such transitional arrangement could facilitate the implementation of any future remuneration system, for instance based on a termination charge system.

The work of Focus Group has been completed at the end of year 1998 but this site is updated regularly and provide the most recent "target rates'.
