Through the covenant, the government formally designates NRVT as a supervisory party in the appraisal sector. It has also been agreed that the Central Council, with parties from the sector, will be transformed into an advisory board without decision -making authority. This increases the independence of NRVT and thus the reliability and quality of appraisals.
