Brussels, January 2002


New Secretariat for the European Vegetarian Union (EVU)


The Head-Office of the EVU-Secretariat has changed from Switzerland to Belgium. With the beginning of the year, Herma Caelen (Belgium) has been appointed Secretary, with Renato Pichler (Switzerland) as Deputy.

The European Vegetarian Union has been founded in 1985 as an umbrella organisation for the European vegetarian movement. All questions relevant to vegetarianism, such as animal rights, ecology, campaigns against world hunger etc. are examined and information on matters of health and consumer protection is distributed.

However, one of the most important goals is the constant exchange with vegetarian societies in the different European countries. By bringing members together, personal contacts are created that lead to a better understanding, sharing of ideas, support and cooperation across national and linguistic borders. In this context, the EVU-magazine „European Vegetarian“ does not only report about latest developments in areas of mutual interest but presents also a helpful tool in improving unity. This periodical comes free with membership but all subscriptions are welcome, too.

In order to broaden this scope of international cooperation even further, the EVU is aligned with the globally operating International Vegetarian Union (IVU).
