Jean-Claude GANDUR. - Each city will receive a final two-page questionnaire to return to me at the end of November. At the beginning of December, I met with my council. We will make the plus and minus columns for each city. At the beginning of January, I will personally go and see the teams that have not been selected. They did a colossal amount of work, answering an initial 400-page questionnaire. I want to be polite and thank them. Depending on the final discussions, the selected city will be announced by the end of March at the latest.
