Announcement

At its Belgrade meeting on 1 September, the majority of the Executive Board decided to reverse its earlier decision to remove the affiliations of delegates from Israel. On further reflection, the Board recognised this action had been rushed and misjudged due to lack of sufficient information, and time pressure. We deeply regret any harm to our affected colleagues, with whom we will shortly be in touch. Our prime objective is to move forward on all EAA matters in a way that better represents the spirit and ethos of the EAA as enshrined in its Statutes: to eliminate political actions, which includes collective punishment. The Board seeks to develop a long-term strategy, a plan that focuses on how to be productive within the remit of the EAA, and this process needs some time. The Membership will have the opportunity to comment and endorse it in due course.
