German and Spanish in this biannual review.
The contributors are expected to send their contributions till December
15th, 2003 for the first issue, and May 15th, 2004 for the second issue.

The articles are expected to have the following format: Times New Roman,
characters 12, top 2,54; bottom 2,54; left 3; right 3; header and footer
1,25. By end of the text will be added the references.
