95B: Combined or concurrent consultation on long-term plan and annual plan

You could also call this:

“Rules for making long-term and yearly plans together”

If you want to change your long-term plan and make your annual plan at the same time, you need to follow some special rules. You have to put all the information about both plans into one document. This document is called a consultation document. You must use a special way of asking people what they think about your plans. This special way is called the special consultative procedure. You have to use this procedure for both the long-term plan changes and the annual plan.
