<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Tahoma&quot;,sans-serif;color:black">Judging from the last call's transcript, not all questions formulated upon the rapporteur´s invitation were systematically covered
 during the call, so it is only fair to have the unanswered questions also addressed, preferably in written form.&nbsp;I'd also reiterate the views expressed by others: for the sake of clarity and to allow and promote further participation, it would be necessary
 to have also in written form&nbsp;(even if succinct)&nbsp;the answers to the questions that were supposedly covered during last call as the transcript does not allow to clearly correlate each question to each comment/answer.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Tahoma&quot;,sans-serif;color:black">Further, several questions were asked during last call, some of which may have been questions that were only asked at that time.
 It seems that none of them had to pass the test of consensus either to be asked or to be answered. So it would be unfair now to ask for support for certain questions to be asked and then answered, particularly those questions that were only asked following
 the rapporteur's invitation in the mailing list.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&quot;Tahoma&quot;,sans-serif;color:black">Finally, I believe that no one would ever feel their views are systematically disregarded if their requests or suggestions were subjected
 to the same test that is applied to other´s proposals…</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
