Make that `DOCID=500PC0302(01)' on the end. The 500PC0303(01) one is 44
pages about the mass influx of displaced persons.

Well spotted. The Commission were supposed to produce propsals for a
ninth directive before 1 Jan 2000 but they still hadn't done so when
I rang my usual contact in their Edinburgh office at the end of February
and I hadn't got around to asking again.

Proposing something open-ended like this is one in the eye for the
French, who were talking about dumping summer time altogether.
