Dear Ira,

Many thanks for letting me know.

It's a real shame that nobody from your Ministry of Justice can make it to Munich.

We will hopefully see each other next year for one of our two planned seminars.

I met Paul Landes here in Brussels last week during a seminar to discuss further details. The seminar on combatting money laundering and the financing of terrorism will most likely take place here in Brussels this year, if all still goes according to plan. The other one would then take place next year in Tel Aviv.

Best wishes,

Ramin

Dear Ramin,

Thank you for your email. I was just about to write you that, unfortunately, no representative from the Israeli Ministry of Justice will be able to attend the seminar in Munich in October. However, we appreciate very much the invitation and we wish you a fruitful and successful seminar.

We are looking forward to continue the cooperation with the European Union through the TAIEX instrument and will be happy to hear about additional events organized by the Commission in the future.

Warm wishes,

Ira
