Dear Han, Would you or anyone else be able to ascertain the reason for their absence? Were they participants in this forum either as invited guests or otherwise?
After finding that out, *then* I think we should take **immediate** action on this by alerting the power(s) at be at the EU Parliament or whoever is now in charge of following up on this (since the Commissioner was replaced). This blatant demonstration of hypocrisy cannot go unnoticed!!! It's time our European friends start gathering data on the ones who will ultimately make the decision on this on the European side. We cannot afford to be caught off-guard on this. Thanks, Han, for the news.
