It stated: &#8220;In order to enable us to communicate effectively on the results of the survey, to assist with the implementation plan and its future implementation in Member States, it is recommended that you&nbsp;designate an \u201cIOC CD focal point\u201d.

All the responses were included to reflect a more general picture of the respondent\u2019s perspectives, including items that were ranked low. To get a weighted average the number that gave the highest rank (e.g. essential) was multiplied times 5 and added to the number that gave a second highest (e.g. very important) multiplied times 4, and so on.
