The cooperative style is consensual on procedural matters, given that both the inclusion on the plenary agenda and the appointment of the representative for the lead committee were decided by consensus. While concluding the first reading did require a vote (8 in favor, 1 against), this still demonstrates majority support within the committee.

It describes extensive cooperation with the ministries, noting that all ministers attended the committee to explain their respective budget sections. Within the committee, consensus was demonstrated on procedural issues (such as appointing the representative for the lead committee), but a clear division emerged in substantive decisions (the completion of the first reading), resulting in a vote split (5 in favor, 3 against).

The text emphasizes consensus-based work within the Finance Committee and close cooperation with the Ministry of Finance during the drafting of legislation. It recognizes the role of the Chancellor of Justice in overseeing lawmaking and is open to submissions from interest groups (e.g., leasing companies, the Chamber of Disabled People). Although merging the bills was considered for procedural economy, the decision was made to proceed with faster, more urgent solutions.
