The Munich Statement on land consolidation as a tool for rural development in CEE/CIS countries
We, representatives of civil society, governments, academic and research institutions from 23 countries as well as representatives from international organizations concerned with land fragmentation and its consequences for rural development in countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), have come together in Munich, Germany, from February 25-28th, 2002, to discuss these issues, to express our concerns and to develop solutions to it. In doing so, we drew on the foundations laid by previous initiatives including the Vienna Conferences on the Development and Maintenance of Property Rights in CEEC (1999, 2000), the Potsdam Rural 21 Conference (2001), and the Bonn Conference on Land Access (2001).
