My French is also rusty. Which ones are the bolsheviks and which ones the mensheviks in the French scenario? ; )<br><br>

Hope such problems can be solved soon :) By the way, I finally was able to contact our IT Group -as our PRs didn't make the step-, and they've finally changed French URL on <a href="http://www.partidopirata.es/" target="_blank"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">our website</span></a>. Please check it.
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br><br>> Carlos: thanks for mentioning the RFID consultation; we had completely forgotten about it; thanks to you we'll write<br>> something on time -- actually this concerns us at most.<br>
<br></div>Yes, we have to be aware of all EU movements, to be able to react on time -as, of course, as a PPI whole, which would give us a higher status-. Regards
