I regret to inform you about the death of Mr Serge Antoine, Honorary President of Plan Bleu, last Saturday, 25th March 2006.
Guillaume BENOIT
The Executive Committee of the International Geographical Union is sorrowful about the death of Mister Serge Antoine, Honorary President of the Blue Plan, Mediterranean Action Plan of UNEP. The participation of Mister Antoine in the establishment and implementation of the Mediterranean Action Plan, particularly in the transition phase from the 1976 Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution to the 1996, sustainable development-aimed approach, was unanimously appreciated as a fundamental contribution to strengthen collaboration in the Mediterranean region, as well as the interaction between governmental and scientific organisations. The Executive Committee of the International Geographical Union joins me in expressing the deepest sympathy to the Mister Serge Antoine's family, and to the Blue Plan organisation.
Adalberto Vallega
President, International Geographical Union
