Reference: not "joint", but "co"

Reference information:
See this German ref.:
http://www.ukaachen.de/go/show?ID=5631303&DV=0&COMP=download...

It means that there is a "federführende" (leading?) Ethikkommission and a (more 'secondary') mitberatende Ethikkommission.

I don't know if this means really 'jointly', but to my German mind, it is more the 'sedondary' connotation, so most probably it's -> co-consulting in this context.

However, an original English source text including an 'official' wording for mitberatend is still lacking.

Here a bilingual article on the subject:
http://www.egms.de/pdf/gms/2009-7/000066.pdf

(I will not judge, of course, the quality of the English version - however, I found two terms which you should consider)

federführend: -> coordinating (... ethics committee)
beteiligt: -> involved

Maybe this helps in your translation process?
