10 10. The general trend of good cooperation between CPT visiting delegations and State authorities, at both national and local level, continued throughout the twelve months covered by this General Report. Among the rare exceptions, reference might be made to the subsequent questioning of detained persons by custodial staff about matters they had discussed during interviews with members of a CPT delegation. This is not in line with either the general principle of cooperation (cf. Article 3 of the Convention) or the confidential nature of the CPT’s interviews with persons deprived of their liberty (cf. Article 8, paragraph 3). In the light of the facts found during several visits this last year, the CPT must also reiterate that the scope of the principle of cooperation is not limited to ensuring that its delegations have rapid access to all places they wish to visit and are provided promptly with all information requested. Meeting the principle of cooperation also entails taking effective measures to implement the Committee’s key recommendations. CPT: 14TH GENERAL REPORT Meetings and working methods 11. The CPT held three one-week plenary sessions during the twelve months covered by this General Report – in November 2003, March 2004 and end June/early July 2004. A total of 24 visit reports (covering 25 visits) were adopted by the Committee during this period, twelve of them according to the expedited procedure (under which draft visit reports circulated at least two weeks before a plenary session are adopted without debate, save for paragraphs in respect of which a discussion has been specifically requested in advance). 12. In addition to meetings of the CPT as a whole, part of every plenary session (at present the Monday and Wednesday afternoons, as well as increasingly the weekend preceding the session) is devoted to meetings of various subdivisions of the Committee, such as delegations preparing future visits, the medical group and the working group on the CPT’s jurisprudence. It remains the case that practically the only internal CPT meetings held outside the framework of plenary sessions are those of visiting delegations to examine draft visit reports and the regular inter-plenary Bureau meeting. The CPT is confident that it will be possible to absorb within the existing number of plenary sessions the extra workload generated by a further increase in the number of visit days, provided the best possible use continues to be made of the expedited adoption procedure and a given plenary session can when necessary be spread over seven days. 13. The CPT has continued to explore the possibility of adopting a more proactive approach visà-vis the implementation of the Committee’s recommendations, in particular those with substantial financial implications. In this connection, reference was made in the 13th General Report to voluntary contributions totalling 90,000 Euros made to the Council of Europe by the Luxembourg authorities. Following extensive discussions with all parties concerned, the decision has now been taken to offer these funds to Caritas Luxembourg. They will be used to finance a project to improve living conditions for inmates in prison establishments in the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova where this NGO has begun to implement WHO-recommended measures to fight tuberculosis.
