- 12 32. The CPT concluded that the best way of implementing Article 10, paragraph 2, would be for the Committee to include in its report to the Government of the country visited a request that it report back to the Committee, within a certain period of time, on the measures taken to implement the recommendations contained in the report. The State concerned is expected to give an account not only of the legislative and administrative measures taken, if any, but also of the implementation, in actual practice, of the Committee's recommendations. To date the practice of the CPT has been to ask the States concerned to submit an interim report (usually within six months of their receiving the CPT's report), to be followed by a final report (usually within twelve months of receipt of the CPT's report). 33. It should be stressed here that the CPT is keen to establish an on-going dialogue with the authorities of each of the Parties. The transmission of the report drawn up under Article 10, paragraph 1, of the Convention is therefore to be seen as the beginning, not the end, of a process. c) Common working tools 34. Both the particular nature of the CPT's membership referred to above (see paragraph 17) and the fact that the CPT is the first entity of its kind and is therefore breaking new ground, made it necessary to provide the CPT members with a body of general knowledge about the types of institutions of detention to be visited and the techniques of conducting visits. This need has been met in two ways: by compiling a set of common working tools, and by a series of information meetings and training sessions. 35. The common working tools consist of a series of documents prepared either by Committee members or by outside experts consulted by the CPT, and concerning each type of place of detention coming under the purview of the CPT's activity: prisons, police stations, psychiatric institutions, military establishments, refugee camps, etc. In addition, general documents have been compiled on the methods of conducting a visit and on the case-law of the European Commission and European Court of Human Rights that is relevant to the CPT's activities. 36. The CPT does not intend to make public the documents referred to above, at least not for the time being, and this for two reasons in particular: first, they were conceived of as internal documents, for the private use of Committee members; second, they may well be improved and revised, in the light of the experience gained by the CPT. d) Training 37. Information meetings and training sessions were another means of providing CPT members with a basic common knowledge and experience. Information meetings were held with delegates of the International Committee of the Red Cross, both in Strasbourg and in Geneva, as well as with other experts selected by the CPT: e.g. persons with specialised professional knowledge of psychiatric institutions, prisons, police establishments, etc. In a number of cases, members of the CPT, specialised in a relevant area, provided training to the other members of the Committee.
