10. October 2006 Brussels, October 11th.

Raimer Böge, Member of the European Parliament, has been selected by his fellow parlamentarians and NGOs to win the Parliament Award for „Environment“ for his achievement of additional 100 M€ for Nature 2000 projects within the LIFE+ programme.

geoland has been sponsoring this award, as LIFE+, Interreg4 and similar operational programmes are seen as key potential co-funding sources for the implementation of GMES applications by Europe’s regions.

Further discussion with MEP and DG members are planned to raise the awareness for the successful Land Monitoring Applications and the need for a transition from “research and development” into operational programmes.
