‘At the end of last year, in Talavera de la Reina (Toledo), Spain, an important meeting of the Pottery-Making Towns Associations’ representatives from Italy, France, Romania and Spain took place, with the purpose of laying the groundwork for establishing an European entity to represent the above-mentioned associations and to protect the interests of the pottery-making towns in Europe’, Constantin Nitu, mayor of this central-southern Romanian town told on Tuesday.
The highlight of the meeting consisted in the signature of the document known as the ‘Declaration of Talavera’, according to which the four signatory associations take upon themselves to work for the establishment of the above-mentioned entity, by means of a workgroup consisting of delegates of each such association, its coordination being assigned to the president of the Spanish Association of Pottery-Making Towns, Tirso Lumbreras.
‘During the first quarter of 2010, we intend to establish an Economic Interest European Group, and later on, to form a Territorial Cooperation European Group. This process remains open to the new associations of the pottery centre-towns that will be set up in other European countries’, the mayor of Horezu also said.
He added that he expected that, together with the towns of Horezu, Lungesti and Vladesti in Valcea county, Corund in Harghita county (central Romania) and Sisesti in Mehedinti county, in the west, that had established the Romanian Association of Pottery-Making Towns, other such towns in Romania joined the association, thus increasing the strength of the association within the European entity that is to be established.
