WE REPORTED THE MEETING DETWEEN MR DELL AND COMMISSIONER DAVIGNON AND DESCRIBED THE FIRM ASSURANCES FROM DAVIGNON THAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD MAKE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT THERE WOULD BE NO REVEWAL OF THE MFA WITHOUT FULL SATISFACTION ON THE MANDATE. THE FRENCH REPORTED BRIEFLY ON DAVIGNON'S MEETING WITH M BARRE AND MADE IT CLEAR AGAIN THAT PARAGRAPH 8
WAS A STICKING POINT FOR THEM.
