EMLA is against GMOs

As a member of Justice and Environment (J&E), EMLA uses the available legal measures provided by the European environmental law and the Aarhus Convention to fight GMOs.

Access to Environmental Justice in the EU

In April, EMLA participated at a meeting held in Brno and organized by the Czech EU Presidency as part of its official program. Representatives of the Commission, the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee and the Czech Government as well as judges and NGO lawyers discussed the status of access to environmental justice in the EU. An English summary of the event can be found under the following link

Environmental governance and international development

From the beginning of 2008, European partner organizations of The Access Initiative (TAI) such as SEIT from Estonia, REC form Latvia, ECAT from Lithuania, IGO from Poland and EMLA from Hungary work together in a new project with colleagues from PILF from Sri Lanka, TEI from Thailand, LEAT from Tanzania, ACODE from Uganda and VACNE from Vietnam. The project is supported by expertise from HAND Alliance from Hungary.

The topic of the research is new for the members of TAI network, since NGOs involved in environmental governance and the implementation of environmental democracy so far analyze a related but distinct topic: conditionality in international development decision-making.

The Parliament of the Republic of Hungary has appointed dr. Sándor Fülöp, CEO of EMLA as Parliamentary Commissioner for Future Generations (Ombudsman) on 26 May 2008. We feel that the personal success of our colleague is the success of EMLA as well. We hope that it also means the acknowledgment of the role and values of EMLA represented to date. We congratulate Sándor and we wish him lots of success in his work!
