12th Meeting of the Mediterranean Wetlands Committee
The French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy (MEDDE) will host the 12th Meeting of the Mediterranean Wetlands Committee (MedWet/Com) in Paris on 7-11 February 2016.
The MedWet/Com is the main decision-making body of the MedWet and brings together the 26 MedWet countries and the Palestinian Authority as well as the organizations that are members of the Committee.
As shown in the draft agenda, the MedWet/Com should take decisions on important issues related to the future of MedWet, in particular the draft MedWet Framework for Action 2016-2030 (read the specific article).
Given the importance of the meeting, the Director of Water and Biodiversity at MEDDE, Mr. François Mitteault, is inviting his counterparts in the Ministries that host the MedWet Focal Points (Permanent Secretaries, Directors Generals, High Commissioners, depending on each country) to participate in the last day of the MedWet/Com meeting, when the key decisions will be taken.
The closing ceremony of the MedWet/Com should be the occasion for officially launching the MedWet Framework for Action. Ambassadors in Paris from all MedWet countries and other important guest will be invited to the ceremony. It is hope that French Minister Ségolène Royal will be presiding over the event.
