The European Council on Refugees and Exiles, ECRE, earlier this month unanimously elected Aditus director Neil Falzon to its board.

ECRE is a pan-European alliance of 90 NGOs which aims to protect and to advance the rights of ref-ugees, asylum seekers and displaced persons.

Dr Falzon will represent ECRE members from the Mediterranean region.

He said his position would also serve as an opportunity to bring to ECRE the voice of a small member state that has experienced serious difficulties in meeting the challenges presented by boats of refugees landing on its shores.
