Bob the Builder

8.30 A photo op with Bob the builder (!) to do with energy saving buildings.

9.00 Another photo op with plastic bottles and cans for recycling.

10.00 Meeting about a securities seminar session that I am chairing the week after next.

11.00 Discussions on TRIPS, paperwork, preparing trunk for Strasbourg and then at 3pm off to Lisbon for meetings on the Portuguese Presidency with the JURI committee. This evening I have a dinner with the ALDE group coordinators, who are also here for meetings tomorrow with the Presidency. The EPP coordinators have apparently gone off to much more exotic Portuguese climes.
