Today is when we have to submit the statement (though at the moment the UNPAN Web site it down). A list of those who participated in the poll will go up on our Web site under "statements" in the next few days.<div><br></div><div>The next question is concerning the consultation on enhanced cooperation on 14 December. Will it go ahead? Will there be any more scope for civil society participation? Who will be the representative of civil society who is to summarise our statements? All these questions are unanswered, but I will try to find out the answers soon.<br><div>
