text: During the past year we have discussed the size of the Germany PD budget and the fact that it did not reflect currentpriorities. EUR reviewed the budget and made the decision to cut the German PD budget by 30% and reallocate thefunding to other areas primarily Eastern Europe. As you will see from the email below and the attached memo MissionGermany responded by reviewing all their PD operations and developing an entirely new approach based on the PDstrategic framework we rolled out earlier this year. I think they did an excellent job and we will be using this as a modelfor other Missions as we go forward.Let me know what you think.jm
