Re:	French Port Strike

Dear NASA Member:

On Monday 29.09.2003, a port strike will be organized in all French Ports (and in general in European ports).

This action is organized to protest against the intentions of the European Commission, who are planning to liberate the cargo handling of vessels in all European Seaports.

This action may effect some of the handling of your cargo.

We will keep you well informed of any new developments regarding this strike.

Best regards,
The North American Shippers Association
