Collegium Ramazzini admitted to the special list of International NGOs of the ILO

On 18 May 2006, the Collegium Ramazzini was admitted to the special list of International NGOs (INGO) of the International Labour Organization.

The ILO Special List of Non-Governmental International Organizations was set up in 1956 to establish working relations with international NGOs other than employers' and workers' organizations which also share the principles and objectives of the ILO Constitution and Declaration of Philadelphia. As a recognized INGO, the Collegium Ramazzini may now request to be represented at the International Labour Conference and other ILO meetings. A list of the other organizations included in this list may be viewed at:

A special thanks to the Chair of the International Committee Brigitte Froneberg for her tireless efforts to promote this initiative as well as her committee members who contributed to the project. Congratulations to all members of the Collegium for having achieved this important milestone.

Best regards,
Morando Soffritti
