Dott. Christos Papoutsis

Commissario Europeo

Dear President,

I really regret that, due to official engagements abroad, I will not be able to attend the closing session.

Since I consider the topics of your discussion very interesting for our work in the framework of the Euro-Mediterranean co-operation, I would appreciate it if you would inform me of the conclusions of the FORUM.

I wish you every success with your work¹⁰.
