FAO APPRECIATES CHURCH COMMITMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HUNGER
Vatican City, 14 June 2012 (VIS) - "This morning 14 June the Holy Father
Benedict XVI received in audience Jose Graziano da Silva, director general of
the Rome-based United Nation's Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). The
director general
subsequently went on to meet with Cardinal Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone
S.D.B. who was accompanied by Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, secretary for
Relations with States.
"During the cordial discussions great appreciation was expressed for the
commitment shown by the Holy See and the Catholic Church to combating hunger
and poverty, especially in Africa, and to remedying the worrying situation of
world food security",
according to a Holy See Press Office communique released today.
"It was then noted that, despite the fact that there are sufficient resources
to satisfy the food requirements of the entire planet, persistent economic,
social and political obstacles hinder the possibility of meeting those
requirements. Finally, the
hope was expressed that the rural sector may once again take a leading role in
development strategies, that sustainable models of agricultural production and
food consumption be promoted, and that greater equity and efficiency be
guaranteed in the
administration of the food system".

AGREEMENT BETWEEN HOLY SEE AND LITHUANIA ON HIGHER EDUCATION
Vatican City, 14 June 2012 (VIS) - On Friday 8 June at the Government Palace
in Vilnius the Holy See and the Republic of Lithuania signed an Agreement on
the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education.
Archbishop Luigi Bonazzi, apostolic nuncio to Lithuania, signed on behalf or
the Holy See, while Audronius Azubalis, minister for foreign affairs, signed
for Lithuania.
The Agreement is in line with the 1997 Lisbon Convention, the various goals of
which include that of favouring reciprocal recognition of periods of study and
of qualifications in the field of higher education. Such recognition serves,
among other
things, to facilitate the movement of students and free circulation in the
ambit of higher education within the region of Europe. Moreover, the Agreement
is also in line with the aims of the Bologna Process, which has created the
European Higher
Education Area, currently involving forty-seven European countries, including
the Holy See, with the support of a number of international organisations.
The current Agreement, apart from defining the principal terms it uses and its
field of application, establishes rules, procedures and instruments to
guarantee the recognition of higher education. It completes the juridical
framework of relations
between the Holy See and the Republic of Lithuania, which are already
regulated by three Agreements signed on 5 May 2000. They concern cooperation
in the field of education and culture, juridical aspects of relations between
the Catholic Church and the
State, and pastoral assistance to Catholics in the armed forces.
The current Agreement will enter into force on the day the two parties
announce they have completed the respective internal legal procedures.
