Correct. We have to integrate the CIQ work with ebXML.

I took CEN's sample addresses in their specs (addresses
from Finland, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, France, Sweden, and UK)
and
tried to XMLify it with xNAL. I just works perfectly. I have sent the
XMLified data to
CEN to let them know the work we have done.

I am looking for suggestions.

Is anyone interested to attend the CEN meeting on 29th June? Please
let me know. Looks like I have some problems regarding travel grants.
