     1        McDonald's is relevant or necessary or desirable, or
     2        whatever, whether we want to ------
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He is at L6.
     5
     6   MR. MORRIS:  I am just checking.  Obviously, the letter from
     7        McDonald's is evidence anyway in itself, the translation of
     8        it has been verified by the translator and I think has been
     9        referred to previously in this case.  So, I do not think we
    10        actually need the verification by Francis Wirtz, do we,
    11        effectively?  If we wish to rely on any part of the letter,
    12        we can just do so from McDonald's.
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I suggest, you need not read the letter, but
    15        in case there is any doubt or argument about it, why do you
    16        not read the Francis Wirtz letter which starts:  "Dear
    17        David".
    18
    19   MR. MORRIS:  OK then.
    20
    21   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Because he produces that letter from
    22        McDonald's of Germany.
    23
    24   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  It is Francis Wirtz, of Osnabruck in
    25        Germany.  I have not got a date.
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You need not worry about that because there
    28        is a date on the letter.
    29
    30   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  He says:  "Dear David, here is the original
    31        letter from Fumik(?) GmbH, McDonald's in Osnabruck, I send
    32        you with fax.  As well I enclosed my answers from June 1989
    33        to McDonald's.  I hope I can help you with this.  If you
    34        need other things and more, please call with me.  Best
    35        wishes, Frank Wirtz, and he has signed it.
    36
    37        There then follows a letter with the translation of
    38        McDonald's ---
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    41
    42   MR. MORRIS:  -- and a further letter that he wrote to them which
    43        is not relevant in the case really.  If I can just say, the
    44        letter from McDonald's is about soya feed for cows destined
    45        for McDonald's in Germany.
    46
    47   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  OK.  Looking through my particular bundle here, the
    50        next one is Ronald Cummins. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  He is L3? 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  Yes.  "Fast-food Chains Beef Overconsumption and
    55        Deforestation:  The case of Guatemala and Costa Rica".
