The 3 magic numbers

Here's another French article that confirms that the 3 numbers found inside the Flaperon were sent to Seville where a technicien linked them to a serial number- see my translation below of pertinent bits.
Here's the link:
Le débris retrouvé à La Réunion appartient bien au vol MH370

"Les expertises effectuées depuis au laboratoire de la direction générale de l'armement du ministère de la Défense (DGA TA), près de Toulouse, ont permis de relever «trois numéros à l'intérieur du flaperon» qui ont conduit à une société sous-traitante de Boeing, l'entreprise Airbus Defense and Space (ADS-SAU) à Séville (sud de l'Espagne), note le parquet dans son communiqué. Des données techniques et «l'audition d'un technicien de l'entreprise» permettent «d'associer formellement l'un des trois numéros relevés à l'intérieur du flaperon au numéro de série du flaperon du MH370», conclut le parquet."

The tests conducted since (finding the flaperon) at(...) the DGA TA, near Toulouse, uncovered "three numbers on the interior of the flaperon" that led (the investigation) to the Boeing sub-contractor, Airbus Defense and Space (ADS-SAU) in Seville (South Spain), said the public prosecutors office in their communiqué. Technical details and "the interview with a technicien from this company" make it possible "to formally link one of the three numbers found on the interior of the flaperon to the serial number of the MH370 flaperon" concluded the prosecutor.
