# Recital (149)

In order to facilitate a smooth, effective and harmonised implementation of this Regulation a Board should be 
established. The Board should reflect the various interests of the AI eco-system and be composed of representatives 
of the Member States. The Board should be responsible for a number of advisory tasks, including issuing opinions, 
recommendations, advice or contributing to guidance on matters related to the implementation of this Regulation, 
including on enforcement matters, technical specifications or existing standards regarding the requirements 
established in this Regulation and providing advice to the Commission and the Member States and their national 
competent authorities on specific questions related to AI. In order to give some flexibility to Member States in the 
designation of their representatives in the Board, such representatives may be any persons belonging to public 
entities who should have the relevant competences and powers to facilitate coordination at national level and 
contribute to the achievement of the Board’s tasks. The Board should establish two standing sub-groups to provide 
a platform for cooperation and exchange among market surveillance authorities and notifying authorities on issues 
related, respectively, to market surveillance and notified bodies. The standing subgroup for market surveillance 
should act as the administrative cooperation group (ADCO) for this Regulation within the meaning of Article 30 of 
Regulation (EU) 2019/1020. In accordance with Article 33 of that Regulation, the Commission should support the 
activities of the standing subgroup for market surveillance by undertaking market evaluations or studies, in 
particular with a view to identifying aspects of this Regulation requiring specific and urgent coordination among 
market surveillance authorities. The Board may establish other standing or temporary sub-groups as appropriate for 
the purpose of examining specific issues. The Board should also cooperate, as appropriate, with relevant Union 
bodies, experts groups and networks active in the context of relevant Union law, including in particular those active 
under relevant Union law on data, digital products and services.
