[Euro-board] REMINDER: Request for Secretariat Monthly Reports

[Wolf Ludwig]

Dear Olivier,

thanks a lot for this excellent and comprehensive type of a monthly report 
which is IMO perfect and more detailed than we did before. It clearly 
compensates the monthly report we couldn't file in June - due to the 
given circumstances. But it now offers a good "catch-up" in July.

As a kind of "standard" for following monthly reports from EURALO we 
can continue to base them on the action items of the precedent monthly 
EURALO call - as we did before. If you find the time and according to your 
capacities, Olivier, to report more in detail, this is of course welcome and 
may be useful for those who haven't participated in our regular calls.

Thanks again and kind regards,
Wolf
