NGO Statements

MIO-ECSDE as a wide NGO Network and Federation, which was built on the important pioneer initiatives of many organisations and persons of the period 1969-1981 and particularly on the work carried out by the Mediterranean Committee of the EEB in the period 1981-1991, has played a significant role in facilitating NGOs to arrive to common positions and shape the Mediterranean Environmental Agenda by presenting and promoting systematically, with continuity and arguments the NGO positions.  

A special booklet was prepared by MIO-ECSDE in 1996, presenting all major NGO declarations and Memoranda, concerning the Mediterranean, sited as "Agreed Positions of the Mediterranean Environmental Organisations" (MIO-ECSDE 1996). This page presents updated information and the latest major Mediterranean NGO statements
