Regarding the composition of the Control Commission.

Adopt the resolution of the Central Committee:

that we nominate members of the Central Committee to the Control Commission only at the wish of party conferences, considering in general that this is incorrect, that these Central Committee members are not bound by Central Committee decisions in their work within the Control Commission; that members of the Central Committee who are part of the Control Commission do not vote in the latter if the question concerns specifically their department or sphere of work.

Regarding transfers, add:

without prejudice to acquainting those whose transfer is in question with the matter and without prejudice to the matter itself, that is to say, only in such a way that the direction of the matter always remains in the hands of fully competent workers who guarantee the success of the matter.
