2 MR. MORRIS: I have extracted it. This one has bundle numbers
3 on it.
4
5 MR. RAMPTON: Mrs. Brinley-Codd's bundle has a translation of
6 some parts of the book at least in front of the German
7 text. Why I have not got one, I do not know. I will take
8 that up with my wicked solicitors later on. But for the
9 moment, my Lord, maybe we could make use of this one.
10
11 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What are we going to do?
12
13 MR. RAMPTON: I offer for the witness's use this volume. This
14 means maybe on our side of the court -----
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let see how we go.
17
18 MR. RAMPTON: Your Lordship has not got one. I have to say
19 this, how far it takes the matter, I have some doubt, given
20 (a) that it is a translation and (b) that it is a book by
21 somebody unconnected with McDonald's, but there it is.
22
23 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you look at that volume, Mr. Morris, and
24 see whether it is what you have and whether, if it is, it
25 has the same pagination.

30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You find, for instance, the first page that
31 you are going to refer to on your document?

33 MR. MORRIS: Yes, it is the same document.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Is it paged the same way?
36
37 MR. MORRIS: Yes, exactly. It is actually tab 3 in bundle 1 of
38 the supplementary list of Defendants' documents.
39
40 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We have got that far. The bundles do not
41 have the translation on them. They have the German book
42 and I am afraid that I cannot read German. Anyway, you
43 refer Mr. Green to the particular page, particular
44 paragraph, and read out the part you want to ask him.
45
46 MR. MORRIS: There is a quote attributed on page 37?
47 A. Yes.
48
49 Q. There is a quote here from Ralph Kreiner. Do you know who
50 Ralph Kreiner is, Senior Vice President of Marketing at
51 McDonald's?
52 A. Yes, he is. I believe that is his title.
53
54 Q. Of the corporation?
55 A. Of the joint venture partnership in -- yes, I believe
56 that Germany is a wholly owned subsidiary, so he is an
57 Executive Vice President of the subsidiary.
58
59 Q. While we are on the subject, we might as well just deal
60 with the relevant bits. There are only about three of
