Ladies and Gentlemen,
A group of European climbers will build an igloo and unfold a banner begin august 2002 on the top of the Mont-Blanc at 4.800 m. height : “STOP FINANCE NATURE DESTRUCTION! CAP REFORM IS TOP!” This message will be carried by all European organisations and citizens having expressed their moral support to the event. To do so, just send us back your identity and encouragements, by fax or (e)mail to the address here under. Thank you very much!The list of organisations and citizens implied will be given to the Press.
The
climbers will spend a night or more in what should be the highest igloo of
the
world.
Why
Mont-Blanc? Because the Mont-Blanc is probably the only place in
The
Press
will be widely informed in advance of the action. Facts will be re-stated,
namely:
- the list of the numerous and dramatic environmental
damages of the CAP.
Wide range destruction of hedges, wetlands, biodiversity, pollution and erosion of soils, pollution of waters, air, etc.
- the huge costs of the CAP for the citizen, as tax payer
and consumer
40% of EC budget, consumer prices 44% higher than normal.
- the
distortion and unfairness of CAP due to the fact it finances according to
production level. Big farmers get bigger, pollution
too!
The
event
will stress the extreme interest and urgency of a CAP Reform, not only
stopping
the large scale destruction of the European environment and the expensive
over
production but also setting up a new agriculture, fair to smaller farmers
and
restoring nature.
The
great
majority of European people don’t want to waste their money anymore, and
even
less for nature devastation! EC people wants deep-going CAP Reform! Go on,
Member of Commission Fischler!
People
willing to support the event financially can do so via Bank account :

Thanks in
advance for your help!
Sincerely,
