details.
Joseph
Zimet, Non Governmental Cooperation Advisor at the Embassy of France is
arranging meetings for Mr. D'orfeuill with Think Tanks, NGOs and foundation in
preparation for the upcoming G-8 Ministerial meetings in Evian, France. Mr.
D'orfeuill would like to discuss the levels of involvement and participation of
the NGO Community during and after the summit.
The
general context of the meeting will be the links between European (French) civil
society and the American civil society. How to strengthen these links and how to
build transatlantic coalitions or campaigns through subjects of common interest
(global issues like environment, trade, reform of IFIs, debt).
Mr.
D'orfeuill already had meetings with sherpas and the French President to discuss
this matter. The question could be how to bring the voice of American civil
society to the summit. Can Coordination Sud help?
On
specific issues, Mr. D'orfeuill wishes to have time to discuss the views held by
members of the New Rules group.
