(basically the zero reports, since our budget was always zero). Unfortunately he has procrastinated this till the end of time. So thank you again for taking care of this. I am glad, that we have someone on the board who is capable of dealing with the Belgian bureaucracy personally. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
