Re: Russian Complaint on TRP before the Committee on NGO

Dear Ms. Mezoui,

With this, I am accusing receipt of your fax regarding a complaint brought by the Delegation of the Russian Federation before the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations on the Transnational Radical Party. I am most grateful for your prompt communication of this serious matter, which we will not miss to address in the timeframe set by the Committee.

To better prepare our written response and to effectively organize our presence at the second part of the regular session of the Committee on NGO, I should be thankful if we could arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience in your offices. Should that be possible I can be reached at (212) 980.1031 or (917) 501.3252.

Please note that, as stated in our accreditation request for the year 2000 that I am attaching, Mr. Cappato, after his election to the European Parliament, is no longer our UN Representative, I should appreciate if all future correspondence could be addressed to myself. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Best regards.

Very truly yours,

Marco PerDuca

UN Representative
