The BCOP Executive Committee (which has representatives from 9 member countries) attended the OECD Senior Budget Officials' regional network for Central, Eastern and South-Eastern European Countries (CESEE SBO), in Paris, France on July 6-7, 2017. This meeting is held annually and addresses priority reform topics of interest to the Ministries of Finance in the region. It provides an important platform for which PEMPAL countries can share their achievements and progress with reforms with countries from another network.  A meeting of the BCOP Executive Committee also was held on July 7, after the CESEE SBO meeting, to discuss required actions to implement the new PEMPAL Strategy 2017-22.
