But we need to speak it not within our Board\\ Bastian is reporting that they had the same issue with PPI but we have to exactly know where we are talking about. A panel for that would be very nice.\\ Florie is remarking that is not useful to debate here the issue. \\ Alessandro agree we need a working group and is avalaible to participate.
