Please be assured that it is not my intention to give lessons to anyone. I
am not a native English speaker and therefore I may not always manage to
choose the correct words and tone to ensure that what is meant to be a
factual response does not become an arrogant one. (But I am also told by my
family that I tend to be very "professor-like" when I speak to them in my
own native tongue :).

Jokes aside,  please do take everything I say here as a sincere request for
constructive discussions. We are not, nor do we consider ourselves to be,
holders of the one and only truth, either in this field or in others (we
may have strong opinions, but that's a different matter I guess). We need
all the good ideas that can come up from all stakeholders, whether they are
channeled through the newly-nominated advisor of Neelie Kroes or via other
means.

Best regards,

Andrea
