December 2007

At the beginning of 2007 the European Federation for Naturopathy together with ECHAMP launched a joint initiative to identify the more politically reliable (i.e. sympathetic to Naturopathic Medicine or to CAM) Members of the European Parliament.

The following correspondence elucidates the results so far: i.e. there are six MEPs who strongly support us. If you have, or can develop, contact with any of them (particularly Jill Evans [UK] and/or Kathy Sinnot [Republic of Ireland]) please do so now and advise me of the position by e-mail. I shall try to take up contact with Hannes Swoboda [Austria] and Bogdan Golk [Poland]).
