Michael Cashman receives MEP award
Last night Michael Cashman, Member of the European Parliament and the President of the EP’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights Intergroup, received an MEP Award 2007 for the most valuable contribution in the field of Justice and Fundamental Rights policy.
In 2005 the Parliament Magazine decided to launch these awards in order to recognise the hard work of MEP’s. This year the Magazine selected 9 areas: Employment, Health, Justice & Fundamental Rights, Development, Energy, Research & Technology, Environment, Culture & Heritage, and Regions.
Nominations for each of the categories have been taken from non-governmental organisations working in sector specific areas.
ILGA-Europe congratulates Michael, our friend, supporter and ally, for this deserved award and recognition and we look forward to welcoming Michael as one of the key speakers at our annual conference at the end of October in Vilnius.
