After an all day working, the only and last remark caming from the French national representative Mr Philippe Nardin was asking the European Commission representatives to take into account only opinions coming from national representatives and not those from other organization like the Brittish Red Cross or EENA. This kind of remark is rather difficult to accept after such a long day of input but is quite revealing... But the next 112 Newsletter will show us how revealing it is.
