Meanwhile, it is understood Kate McCann is quitting her job as a locum GP to devote her life to children's charities. Mrs McCann has not returned to work since Madeleine's disappearance in May and has reportedly told friends she feels she has a lot to offer charity organisations.
The couple want to campaign for a Europe-wide alert system for missing children, like the amber alert system in place in the U.S. The McCanns attended a lunch for Missing Children Europe last week and they have both met with officials from the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children and the Centre for Child Exploitation and Online Protection.

Re: February/March 2008
I'm trying to find out if the McCanns ever answered the 40 questions the PJ wanted to ask. I understand these were sent as a list, possibly via the LP.
What I'm busy establishing - the April concise overview isn't ready yet - is this: why on earth didn't the McCanns take part or made to take part in the RIs, or rather how did they avoid answering the 40 questions.
Up to the end of March it was understood they would cooperate - end of March it is understood they will not be asked any questions.
Presumably those are the 40 questions posed by the PJ.
Whilst the RI's were taking place and the PJ was in the UK, both the McCanns were in Brussels to tell the MEP's something they already knew.
Amber Alert Europe.
The months of November to April are very interesting. Damage limitation taking place whilst - with the child barely 8 months 'missing' negotiations are underway for 1 million interviews, documentary and actual film about Madeleine. Most of these in January.
The indoctrination of the twins is well underway with presents and card from Madeleine. So at this early stage the twins are already 'groomed' for further news stories about them missing their sister.
