I'm writing a report about actions that I have taken. Which form is the correct one? 

> 
> *were*,  
> 
> *have been* or  
> 
> *have*? 
> 
> 
> 

I have used the first tense *were* in the sentence:

> 
> "The minutes of the first coordinating and consultative committees meetings **were** translated into English and then sent back to the manager"
> 
> 
> 

If it's incorrect then how should I write it?
