I plan to get to a conference on the RTTE in the next few months. Right now I am critical path for releasing several new products and taking a week off to go to Dallas or Washington was not feasible. And I am not complaining. This will all work out in the end. -----Original Message----- From: Victor L.

Having set through any number of versions of the CTE Directive = and ultimately having had three sessions in the US (all in the last 10 = days) with=20 Mark Bogers on what the R&TTE Directive means, I probably am no longer=20 in a good position to know whether it leaves any questions unanswered. = There are some implementation issues that are not settled yet, but = apart from=20 that, I feel the document is quite clear. The document is a trade document first and a political compromise = second. =20 Forget you're an engineer, that is an outdated profession. Industry is = now looking for Electro-political scientists with a trade bend. Once you understand that, you'll do fine with the R&TTE Directive.=20 You=E1ll had the opportunity to be there with us when it was explained, = so don't complain now. Both your government and your private sector created = these opportunities to get to understand where the world is going. Perhaps you=E1ll don't like either Washington or Dallas.=20 I didn't want to lay that on anyone before mother's day, but there it = is.=20 Ciao, Vic
