15/07/2008 (Agence Europe) - The European Liberal Democrats (ALDE) at the European Parliament have proposed that the EP foreign affairs committee room should be named after Bronislaw Geremek. A letter seeking the name change for the room situated opposite the Brussels Hemicycle has been sent to Parliament's President Hans-Gert Pöttering. Bronislaw Geremek was an active member of the foreign affairs committee. “I have written to the president of the House with a proposal to permanently honour the memory of Bronislaw Geremek by naming one of our main meeting rooms after him. I hope to see it approved when Parliament resumes at the end of August”, said ALDE's leader, Graham Watson. He added: “I am delighted that subsequently the chairman of the foreign affairs committee has taken up this idea”. (H.B./transl.jl)
