Exciting meeting at the Belgian Senate today.

Waiting to be called (with Julie, my assistant)

Speaking from the podium (Senator Roelants du Vivier listens intently in the background)

Edited to add: Today’s business in Dutch and French. Although advertised, there were no representatives from Italy, the UK, Serbia-Montenegro or the UN, and Flahaut sent his chef de cabinet rather than turn up himself. I spoke in English – there was simultaneous translation three ways.
