Conclusion Rare hadronic B decays continue to be a rich and active field of research and provide essential information on the details of hadronic interactions. We keep looking for the needle in the haystack which could turn into a key to physics beyond the Standard Model. Rare Hadronic B Decays J. Kroseberg ( Moriond QCD, March 19 '6 17
