Following the path started with Expo, we are working with these princi-
ples in mind: we are going to have a series of ambitious projects that we wish
to develop together. They will range from short term, such as planning
2016/2017, to medium term. Thanks to the work we did for Expo, we decided
to include Milano in the running for the city that will host the World Forestry
Congress 2021.

I realise this is a medium term but it has its own reason within the whole
work that we are carrying out, for the purpose of expressing in depth our abi-
lity in cooperation for environmental and agriculture issues. This should be
seen as starting points of the new era in which we are living. In all this, I feel
we are expressing one of the features and strengths of the experience of our
Country; hence I can only confirm to you, once again, the attention and the
common work that we can guarantee also on behalf of the Ministry of
Agriculture, Food and Forestry, strong of all the experience we have so far
made together.

Enjoy the conference.
