Status of NegotiationsStatus of Negotiations

• Documents required by EC:

Draft Annex1 to GA

GPFs

• Sent middle October 2007

• See http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/euro-neutrino/EUROnu-annex1.doc

• No comments received so far

• Project officer has been in contact

• Possible reasons:

No particular problems with EURO

Concentration on other projects

UK funding crisis
