Hello Gilbert,
A big THANK YOU for this translation which is very precious to me even though I do not speak Flemish.
I did not have the opportunity to thank you earlier because I was disturbed by the new presentation of the focus groups.
I often work on the France group so, on occasion, don't hesitate to let me know 😉
Best regards - Paul-Marc
