When Acronyms are apt: COST

Sometimes an acronym is wholy fit for purpose. In defence of my claim I bring you this little known EU Committee.

European cooperation in Science and Technology Committee of Senior Officials

Which is known by its acronym,

the COST Committee of Senior Officials

Who have had their 181st meeting.
This opening para is a prize specimen of Eurocratese.

It was recalled that both CSO and ESF Governing Council have confirmed that the ESF would continue as the COST implementing agent until the end of the FP7. As proposed by the COST-ESF High Level Group, the Committee agreed to set up a joint Working Group to establish a “roadmap” to guarantee a smooth continuation of COST activities beyond FP7.
