LG, <<Question: What the heck is a "summer holiday" and when does it usually occur?>> I will probably defer to DaiS, but when I worked with a company who did extensive European sales, I believe for some countries it is July, some it is August. The Euros definitely have their priorities set better than Americans. Family/fun first, work second. I think I may take a summer holiday!

LG...Germany launches early on May 1st...spain,France and Italy will launch after the summer holidays in Europe...Yes this is the time when many Europeans take extended holiday time....up to 6 weeks Astra/Zeneca is looking at getting the best bang for it's bucks(marks, francs,pesos,etc) ....better to launch when all is ready. In this case early before summer holidays in Germany and after in the others. Would have liked all to be early...but that's not the case.
