Sitruk-Ware (New York, USA) and participants included Ms F. Fruzzetti (Pisa, Italy), J. Hanker (Trier, Germany), J. Huber (Vienna, Austria), F. Husmann (Bad Sassendorf, Germany), S. O. Skouby (Copenhagen, Denmark), J. H. H. Thijssen (Utrecht, The Netherlands), and R. Druckmann (Nice, France). The present paper reports the conclusions of the meeting.
