The European Southern Observatory decided, on the basis of reports which were far from transparent, that the European Very Large Telescope would be located in Chile and not in the Canaries.

Professor René Racine (Emeritus Professor, University of Montreal, Executive Director, Association of Canadian Universities for Research in Astronomy, Coalition for Canadian Astronomy): At the end of the 1960s, Europe set up what was called the European Southern Observatory, the ESO.

With regard to the European Union itself, I think that it is essential that a European drought observatory be established urgently, something that we have considered several times in this House, as a centre for knowledge, mitigation and monitoring of its terrible effects, especially in southern Europe.

The “Statement of Intent” will be signed by European Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin and the Directors-General of the EIROforum organisations: Mr Jerôme Paméla (European Fusion Development Agreement), present EIROforum Chairman, Mrs Catherine Cesarsky (European Southern Observatory), Mr Colin Carlile (Institut Laue-Langevin), Mr Jean-Jacques Dordain (European Space Agency), Mr Fotis Kafatos (European Molecular Biology Laboratory), Mr Luciano Maiani (Centre Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire), and Mr Bill Stirling (European Synchroton Radiation Facility).
