to improve and promote the
development of rural areas. There is a
need, therefore, to standardize and
unify our professional activities so that
agronomists can be a reference point
in European institutions, as well as in
each Member State, for the
management
of
rural
areas,
landscapes and food security.
An increasing number of our
colleagues are required to work
beyond their national borders, either
for brief periods or to establish
permanent bases there, even for
partial activities. In view of the
competences attributed to them by
their professional association and
national regulations, it is essential for
them to be able to practice throughout
Europe, thereby enhancing their
professional and cultural growth. Ease
of mobility would also allow best
practices to be exported beyond
national borders, with benefits not only
for the professional but also for the
host country. This is completely in line
with an effective unification of the EU
States which starts from the freedom
to practice a profession, which is
varied yet essential for the social and
economic development of each
country. The new professional
qualification
directive
calls
for
reflection by all members of CEDIA, in
view of the new tools that it introduces.
It is essential that agronomists are fully
aware of these developments, the
challenges and the opportunities that
the new directive entails in order to
facilitate the free movement of
professionals throughout the EU.
At the conclusion of the 11th
Conference, it will be presented the
European Agronomists’ Charter, which
will be brought to the attention of the
major stakeholders.
The conference will be held in
Brussels, from 10 to11 November
2014 (Square – Brussels meeting
center - Rue Mont des Arts B – Glass
Entrance - 1000 Brussel)
