<P>I fully agree to Vittorio's arguments and I'll probably mention rhem in my statement on the meeting.</P>
<P>But let me just mention than I don't feel less "representatiive of CS" than the authors of the final Press Conference at Prep-Com-2, or than the authors of the "Common statement of CS and Private sector" to the Intergouvernmental Committee during Prep-Com-2. Moreover, I promise Vittorio and all the members of the list that I won't commit the CS in any manner during and after this meeting. </P>
<P>Best regards</P>
