[pp.int.general] EP2014 elections 'what if...'

[Daniel Riaño]

Thanks, Lisa.

Be sure that in Spain we pirates appreciate very highly all the hard and
good work from Christian, Amelia and coworkers. Let's hope they both can
win again a seat at the EP and, in any case, that the PP international can
continue to profit from their experience in the years to come.
