Agree with Jonathan

We must concentrate on priority actions 

Pls do not involve  us in something which is not pressing . We have littlke time

We do not want to spent hours and hours on these like those hours that we wasted on UA.

We were misled and we do not want to do it again

The working method and priorities must be identified and decided at the level of the main group and not at the level of working parties

Hi Colleagues,

In agreement with Dr. Lisse, we need to get it right nonetheless the
