Recommends that operations scheduled for 2015 be completed—including putting the two Buddha statues back up on their pedestals and reassembling the southern gallery of the Hall of Dancers leaving only two openings in the vaults so that the two large trees located at those spots can be preserved.

Recommends as part of the ongoing temple restoration program, that the APSARA National Authority in tandem with ASI organize an international symposium during which proposals for the master plan would be reviewed and debated, that the ASI team will develop for this purpose. The symposium will enable the ad hoc experts and international experts (World Heritage Center, ICCROM, ICOMOS, etc.) to broaden the analytical process to cover all of the issues encountered in this monument, as well as the conservation, restoration and showcasing choices to be made.
