[NCSG-PC] [new draft] NCSG Budget Comment

Mon Feb 26 12:10:23 EET 2018

May I suggest something like: "We do not support the current suggested
harsh cut on these programs but we request an assessment before any such
decision can be taken". This is what i would like to see there. I am not
that good in English so would suggest a rephrasing so it means this for me.
If what is written there is the same as what i am sugesting, then fine with
me. The current language on that one sentence is confusing for me.

And i will leave this here for you guys to decide as a group.

Thank you,
Arsene
