May 29, 2002. De : Meryem Marzouki meryem.marzouki@dial.oleane.com. Date : Mer 29 mai 2002 12:55:15 Europe/Paris. Agrave; : EPaciotti@europarl.eu.int. Objet : Rép : Cappato report. Dear Ms. Paciotti,. Article 29 of French law N°2001-1062 of November 15th, 2001 would become compatible with the EU legislation in case your amendment is adopted by the EP. On the contrary, it would remain a violation of the EU legislation if the Cappato's report provision on Article 15(1) is adopted.

Also available in French. February 28, 2002. Dear Council of Europe Secretary-General Walter Schwimmer:.
