Hi and thanks for the info.

I would just like to add an idea:
If someone could organise a webinar or something similar to take us through
the issues of the "boring" document that could be a great motivation to
take active part in the debate and an opportunity to look into the sector's
specific interests in more detail.

All the best,

Nikolaos Maniatis
