Would be interesting to get a straight answer what is going on right now and how the plans are in the ( near ) future.

I have to say that they did not take away a previously confirmed seat from me in a long time, but I can confirm that they had huge problems in the past, especially on NW metal ex US, however they fixed that and I cannot complain at all.

Beside that I will forward the issue to the new dedicated PE desk in Germany to see if I can get an answer there...
