     1
     2   MR. MORRIS:  Right.  I was just going to read the whole
     3        statement through and get it out of the way, and then deal
     4        with particulars matters just as a kind of structure,
     5        really.
     6
     7   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  I await with interest to see how you
     8        pronounce that word, Mr. Morris!
     9
    10   MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, I do not know whether this might be an
    11        occasion where it might be better to refrain from reading
    12        it out.
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I will leave it entirely up to you.  Why not
    15        take the first paragraph as read, and you can come back and
    16        ask about those matters, and then just read as much of the
    17        rest as you want to -- if, indeed, you want to read any of
    18        it at all.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  Right.
    21
    22   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am quite happy if Mr. Jenssen just averred
    23        the truth of it.
    24
    25   MR. MORRIS:  (To the witness):  I will just ask you about the
    26        first paragraph, then.
    27
    28        Since December 1993 you have been the head union
    29        representative of McDonald's of the store that you work in;
    30        is that correct?
    31        A.  That is correct, when this was written.  I am now not
    32        the head representative any more.  I am just one of the
    33        four representatives; that is since March this year.
    34
    35   Q.   They are elected representatives by the union members?
    36        A.  Yes, by the union members.
    37
    38   Q.   You are also a representative in the section of the HRAF
    39        union, which has some 1,300 members in the Oslo area in,
    40        I believe it is, the catering section; is that correct?
         A.  Yes; that is the section that does not cover cooks or
    42        waiters; any other employee in the business except cooks or
    43        waiters.
    44
    45   Q.   Right.  So it is fast food?
    46        A.  Fast food or maids, anything like that.
    47
    48   Q.   Hotels.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Could you tell me what -- I have got "hotel 
    51        and", is it ----- 
    52        A.  Yes -- restaurant personnel. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   What does the long word mean in English, so
    55        far as you -----
    56
    57   MR. MORRIS:  Restaurant personnel, I think, is it?
    58        A.  Restaurant personnel.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Then what is the last word there?
