Dear Partners and Observers, It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of a member of the GBEP family, Giuliano Grassi, Secretary General of the European Biomass Industry Association (EUBIA)/ETA-Florence. Giuliano was a firm supporter of GBEP from the very beginning, and became a close colleague and friend to many of us over these years. We will remember him for his calm manner and his wise words, which will be sorely missed. With sincerest and deepest sadness, Michela ************************************** Maria Michela Morese, PhD Natural Resources Officer Executive Secretary of the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Viale delle Terme di Caracalla 00153 Rome - ITALY Tel.: +39.06.57056080 E-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> www.globalbioenergy.org<http://www.globalbioenergy.org/> [FAO_logo_Blue_2lines_en_firmaemail] ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the GBEP-Observers-L list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(GBEP-Observers-L,SIGNOFF);
