Yes, we can always send it.

Is everyone in agreement on the text now?

I think we are.

It has now been sent.

Before circulating it, however, I think it needs some page formatting (the page breaks need attention, as Nomad said). Writeboard won't do it, as far as I can see. I can make a .doc file of it and format that.

Any other ideas, anyone?

Let me have a brief think about it ... might be possible to do a better print job from the HTML. Probably is -  just haven't had time to do it. The quality of the mark-up is bad, which probably isn't helping the print algorithms. But that's another issue.

Was the version you sent signed by names, or just collectively?

I "cashed in" on the way we were accepted for the Biofuels, and sent it as The European Tribune. I simply signed my name on the covering e-mail as the author of that e-mail.

The Open Letter was different, I think, it was from EU citizens.

I just met Jerome for Breakfast.

He said we should send the latest version anyway. We can always claim we sent an old draft by mistake as opposed to calling it "errata".

We can always send version 13 which is exactly as our prevvious submission plus the new paragraph.

Version 14 and later already contain more and more substantial rewordings of other things.

Options:

  • Send version 13
  • Send version 19

The latest version should be circulated more widely [MEPs, oter people mentioned in this discussion] making it clear that it's not identical to our consultation submission if that's the case.

I took it your latest version (19) was right and sent that.

I frankly don't believe it matters a whole lot with DG-TREN. Since the only consultation was IPM, they don't put up (unless I'm mistaken) a page with contributions as with the Biofuels Consultation. They may acknowledge receipt. I sent the e-mails return receipt, but that should go to etg@eurotrib.com, which only Jérôme has access to. So should any response they make.

They're not going to take any notice of what we say anyway, we know that ;)

What we need to aim for is to release "Energize Europe" simultaneously with the White Paper. When is that expected?

Ok, we have October and November to go through all the steps in your working together scheme. 12 weekends from now is December 16/17 which will probably be the date of the EU summit.
