<p class="MsoNormal">I know you are eager for word on whether to proceed with flight and hotel bookings for the CCWG meeting in Paris on 17-18 July. Having heard back publicly or privately from all but one member, I think it’s safe to say that the EC has approved
travel support for your participation as per the policy, <o:p></o:p></p>
