Re:  
EDAP TMS S.A.
Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011
Filed April 26, 2012
File No. 000-29374
 
Dear Mr. James:
 
We refer to the above-referenced filing of EDAP TMS S.A. (the “Company”) and to the Staff’s comment letter dated July 23, 2012. As mentioned in our telephone conversations with the Staff, the Company has begun to review the letter and prepare the responses thereto, but will require more time to respond given the necessity to consult with its external auditors and other advisors as well as due to the travel schedules of the relevant Company employees and advisors. After consultation with the Company, we therefore would like to confirm that the Company intends to reply by September 14, 2012.
 
We appreciate your consideration in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me by phone (+33.1.56.59.38.72) or email (lhesse@jonesday.com) if you have any questions.
 
 
 
Yours faithfully,
   
 
  /s/ Linda Hesse
