The meeting participants spoke about the selection of authorization experts, activities, and the draft rule for membership termination of the expert corps. The attendees discussed the issues related to the kindergarten’s self-assessment tools, sanitary and Hygienic norms, food and nutrition norms, buildings, infrastructure, and material-technical base.
