invite you to a public hearing on ROSIA MONTANA in PERIL

Tuesday, 30 November 2010 (10.00 – 17.00, including a hosted lunch)

at the Hotel Sheraton, Place Rogier 3, Brussels (Metro: Rogier)

Gabriel Resources, a Canadian mining company, plans to exploit what would be Europe’s largest open-cast gold mine at Rosia Montana in Transylvania, Romania. Local heritage and environmental NGOs are campaigning against this project with the aim of saving the integrity and authenticity of the beautiful landscape and village of Rosia Montana and of its rich 2000 year old Roman mining heritage, from the feared destruction and pollution which would be the consequences of this large-scale gold mine.

Come and hear the arguments from different sides at this public hearing co-chaired by:

Daciana Sârbu (Romania), Member of the European Parliament

Denis de Kergorlay (France), Executive President of Europa Nostra

R.S. V.P. by 25 November 2010
Att. Louise van Rijckevorsel, Europa Nostra Brussels Office: bxl[at]europanostra[dot]org or Susana Dragomir, European Parliament: dacianaoctavia.sarbu[at]europarl[dot]europa[dot]eu
