Intercooperation supports continued collaboration with Eastern countries
On 26 November 2006, the Swiss electorate will vote on the Federal Law on Eastern Europe, concerning continued assistance to partner countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Intercooperation has partnered with Birdlife Switzerland, Pro Natura
Switzerland and WWF Switzerland in strong support of continued federal
assistance to these countries. The four organisations note that Swiss
support for projects in the Eastern block has helped to protect species
diversity, combat air pollution, and reduce the tendency towards global
warming. The Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation, SDC also states that
continued cooperation corresponds with the Swiss tradition of solidarity and
humanitarian concern and support for the environment - and represents an
investment in the future.For details of the news release
