     1        A.  Yes, that was this, was it not?
     2
     3   Q.   Is that it?
     4        A.  Yes.
     5
     6   Q.   28A.

     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It looks as if the documents you referred to
     9        have arrived, Mr. Rampton.  What I suggest is we might take
    10        a slightly longer than normal mid-morning break but carry
    11        on for the time being.  Have you identified it?
    12        A.  Yes, I have.
    13
    14   MR. MORRIS:  510L, I think it is the last page.  At the bottom
    15        it says 510L?
    16        A.  I have it, yes.
    17
    18   Q.   There were various reviews going on, if you look down the
    19        left-hand side, including a packaging review.  This was
    20        April 1990?
         A.  Yes.
    22
    23   Q.   When you started at Perseco were you aware there had been
    24        reviews before you started, say, on packaging?
    25        A.  That there had been reviews, yes, because, as I said,
    26        I have had a predecessor who has done similar work as
    27        I have done only not to the extent that I showed you in
    28        packaging the material usage report.
    29
    30   Q.   Yes.  Did you have the benefit of seeing previous reviews
    31        when you were looking into the whole packaging situation,
    32        did you see the various reviews that have been done
    33        for ----
    34        A.  I had seen -- I can recollect one review -- are you
    35        referring to a particular review?
    36
    37   Q.   This one here, just so I know that you have seen that
    38        particular one; it seems to be an important one.
    39        "Packaging Review, initial report completed for all
    40        packaging products" -- "all", so it must have been pretty
         substantial?
    42        A.  Yes, what we were doing then (and I have not been
    43        involved in that one obviously) was merely inventorising,
    44        making an inventorisation, of all the packaging items that
    45        were there within McDonald's Europe, as it actually says,
    46        investigate standard with the aim of investigating
    47        standardisation.  Just to give a simple example -----
    48
    49   Q.   It says:  "Perseco conducting a study on behalf of
    50        McDonald's", so Perseco was actually doing that review? 
    51        A.  Yes, basically, it was not anything more at that point 
    52        in time than getting all the products lined up and seeing 
    53        whether there were small differences between markets, big
    54        differences between markets.  I think graphic
    55        standardisation and quality issues were the main goals at
    56        that study.
    57
    58   Q.   You still have a copy of that review somewhere in the
    59        Perseco files?
    60        A.  I should have, I do not -- I would imagine so.
