Dom, Hi. Thanks for explaining this. It makes much more sense now.
I now understand that Paul Fernandes included the following in his article dated 11 May 2006 published on Gomantak Times (web link not available): "However, the name of the European country cannot be disclosed for reasons of protocol, at this stage." However, he did not include that sentence on his article dated 12 May 2006: http://www.abbefaria.com/Abbe%20Faria%20Anniversary%20-%20Govt%20Soozes.htm Consequently, other journalists changed the whole thing and made it an "European Union" commemoration. Anyway, it is explained now. Thanks for that.
