Nous vous livrons la lettre électronique que nous avons reçue: nous nous refusons à traduire toute information en provenance des instances de la FISAE qui ne seraient pas traduites en français.
Dans les statuts de la FISAE (statuts élaborés en son temps et publiés par l'AFCEL) il est précisé que toutes les indications relatives au Congrès doivent être traduites de la langue originelle du pays qui reçoit en ANGLAIS, en FRANCAIS et en ALLEMAND. Or depuis quelques années et en particulier pour le Congrès de Pekin en 2008 et pour celui qui se prépare fin août à Istambul tous les textes sont uniquement en langue anglaise; c'est pourquoi tout en restant membre de la FISAE, l'AFCEL ne sera pas présente à ce 33eme congrès et n'enverra aucun représentant légal pour bien marquer sa désapprobation pour un tel procédé.
