«The representative, his staff and other representatives of the observer state can participate, by invitation, in the meetings of the Board, the Council of the Commission and the advisory bodies under the EEC. The possibility is provided for the presence of the head of state and government of the observer state by invitation at the meetings of the Supreme Council and the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council,» the EEC said.
