Brussels, 23/01/2004 (Agence Europe) - A conference will begin on 19 February in Brussels on anti-Semitism in Europe. The European Commission announced that it would be organising this conference months ago, following accusations of anti-Semitism against it. The affair goes back to the publication in a Eurobarometer survey revealing that most Europeans thought Israel was the biggest threat to world peace and due to the non-publication of a report on anti-Semitism in Europe, commissioned by the European Observatory on Racism and Xenophobia in Vienna. The conference will begin with a contribution by the president of the European Commission Romano Prodi. Participants will include important Jewish, Christian and Muslim dignitaries and will be organised into four sessions: 1) history, culture and identity; 2) religious dialogue and dimensions; 3) anti-Semitism; 4) Europe and Israel. Other participants include: German foreign affairs minister Joshcka Fischer and the former president of the Knesset Avraham Burg.
