Abstract :
The comment written by Cobos Sanchez provides the occasion to clarify a key point in the development of the formulation proposed in 2011 by the authors. In particular, even if some Cobos Sanchez´s remarks are theoretically correct, the analysis of the working assumptions shows that they were properly disregarded because of insignificance on a practical side.
