I am delighted to present to you the Annual Report of Europa Nostra which illustrates the wide range of our achievements in 2015. Last year was marked by the firm consolidation of a series of promising alliances and partnerships, as explained by our Executive President and our Secretary General in their introduction to this Annual Report. Let me illustrate their succinct overview of the past year’s achievements with a few personal experiences and messages which are dear to my heart.

authorities and together with all civil society organisations from Italy, Europe and the world, we must indeed join forces to ensure that Venice and its Lagoon will still be there to enchant many more generations to come.

I was very much looking forward to joining the Europa Nostra family in Oslo for the grand European Heritage Awards Ceremony held at such a symbolic and iconic venue – the Oslo Town Hall, famous for being the venue of the annual Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony. This Ceremony confirmed our ambition to make our Awards,which we are proud to run in partnership with the European Union,known as Europe’s “Nobel Prize for Heritage”. Alas, due to sad family circumstances, I had to cancel my participation at the very last moment. Nevertheless, I was pleased to personally congratulate our award winners on their outstanding achievements via an audio message broadcast during the ceremony.

I was also keen to express my personal support to two large public campaigns led in France in support of two important and endangered heritage sites: one in Paris – Les Serres d’Auteuil, threatened by the construction of a new tennis stadium for Roland Garros and the other in Lyon – Le MusĂ©e des Tissus whose survival is threatened by a lack of adequatefinancial support. It was very gratifying to witness some initial positive results obtained thanks to the wide-spread mobilisation of civil society in France and beyond. Let me, of course, also praise our vital partnership and dialogue with the European Union. I am particularly proud of the report, “Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe”, initially discussed at our Congress in Oslo, which I recently had the pleasure of presenting to President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, in Brussels. In my foreword to this important policy document, I stressed that: “articulating the value of our heritage by providing quantitative and qualitative evidence of its benefits and impacts will indeed give more strength to the voice of cultural heritage in Europe”.

Before our Congress in Oslo, I had the pleasure of welcoming members of Europa Nostra President’s Circle in my native country, Spain: we met at the end of April in Barcelona when we could together express our support for the restoration of the façade of one of Europe’s great Opera houses – El Liceu. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the generous and loyal members of our President’s Circle:your support and friendship is vital for Europa Nostra’s work! I hope many more people, from Europe and beyond, will join this Circle and thus help Europa Nostra to succeed in meeting the many challenges ahead of us. Saving endangered heritage lies at the heart of Europa Nostra’s action. We are indebted to the European Investment Bank Institute for their support to our ‘7 Most Endangered’ programme which is becoming more and more known to the wider public. I am delighted to see that some of our initial campaigns are starting to bring tangible results, as in Albania, Portugal and Romania. But we must invest further in both the sites which we have already “adopted” on the first two “7 Most Endangered” lists (in 2013 & 2014) and in the new sites which were selected for the recently published list for 2016. I felt compelled to add my personal voice of support to one site which was nominated as THE most endangered site in Europe: Venice and its Lagoon. As a result, I was glad to send a personal video message to the presentation of the selected sites of 2016, which was organised by our Board in mid-March in Venice. Together with the EU Institutions, together with the Italian 6

by the President, Maestro PlĂĄcido Domingo

We are delighted that the key messages formulated by this report were duly taken into account by the EU Institutions and that they led to the recent decision by President Juncker, in agreement with EP President Martin Schultz, to organise a European Year of Cultural Heritage in 2018.This will be a great challenge for Europa Nostra and all members of our ever-growing network. Let us join forces to make the best of this formidable opportunity for Europe and for Europe’s citizens! To end, I wish to thank Europa Nostra’s leadership and membership for their support and confidence and for their decision taken last June in Oslo to entrust me with another mandate as President of Europa Nostra. This is a great honour, a great responsibility and my great pleasure. I remain firmly committed to promoting Europa Nostra’s spirit and key messages not only throughout Europe, but also across the globe.


Avant notre CongrĂšs Ă  Oslo, j’ai eu le plaisir d’accueillir les membres du Cercle du PrĂ©sident d’Europa Nostra dans mon pays natal, l’Espagne : nous nous sommes rencontrĂ©s fin avril Ă  Barcelone et avons pu ensemble soutenir la restauration de la façade de l’un des opĂ©ras les plus importants d’Europe - El Liceu. Je tiens Ă  exprimer ma sincĂšre gratitude aux membres du Cercle du PrĂ©sident pour leur gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ© et loyautĂ© : votre soutien et amitiĂ© sont essentiels aux activitĂ©s d’Europa Nostra ! J’espĂšre que de nombreuses autres personnes, d’Europe et au-delĂ , rejoindront ce Cercle et aideront ainsi Europa Nostra Ă  relever de nombreux dĂ©fis prĂ©sents et futurs. La sauvegarde du patrimoine en danger se trouve au coeur de l’action d’Europa Nostra. Nous sommes redevables Ă  l’Institut de la Banque europĂ©enne d’investissement de soutenir notre programme des “7 sites les plus menacĂ©s”, qui est de plus en plus connu du grand public. Je me rĂ©jouis de voir que quelques unes de nos premiĂšres campagnes commencent Ă  apporter des rĂ©sultats tangibles, comme en Albanie, au Portugal et en Roumanie. Cependant, nous devons investir davantage d’efforts, Ă  la fois pour les sites que nous avons dĂ©ja “adoptĂ©s”sur les deux premiĂšres listes des “7 sites les plus menacĂ©s”(en 2013 & 2014), mais aussi pour les nouveaux sites sĂ©lectionnĂ©s pour la liste 2016 rĂ©cemment publiĂ©e. Je me suis senti obligĂ© de soutenir personnellement un site qui a Ă©tĂ© nommĂ© comme LE plus menacĂ© en Europe : Venise et sa Lagune.

Je voudrais, bien entendu, saluer notre partenariat et dialogue essentiels avec l’Union europĂ©enne. Je suis particuliĂšrement fier du Rapport “Le patrimoine culturel compte pour l’Europe”, initialement discutĂ© Ă  Oslo, et que j’ai eu le grand plaisir de prĂ©senter rĂ©cemment Ă  Bruxelles au PrĂ©sident de la Commission europĂ©enne, Jean-Claude Juncker. Dans mon avant-propos de ce document important, j’ai soulignĂ© qu’ “exprimer la valeur de notre patrimoine en fournissant des preuves quantitatives et qualitatives de son multiple impact positif, permettra de renforcer la voix de notre patrimoine culturel en Europe”. Nous pouvons nous rĂ©jouir que les conclusions de ce rapport aient Ă©tĂ© dĂ»ment prises en compte par les Institutions de l’UE, donnant lieu Ă  la dĂ©cision rĂ©cente du PrĂ©sident Juncker, en accord avec le PrĂ©sident du Parlement europĂ©en Martin Schulz, d’organiser une AnnĂ©e europĂ©enne du patrimoine culturel en 2018. Cette AnnĂ©e sera un immense dĂ©fi pour Europa Nostra et tous les membres de notre rĂ©seau grandissant. Unissons nos forces pour saisir au mieux cette opportunitĂ© formidable pour l’Europe et les citoyens europĂ©ns ! Pour conclure, je souhaite remercier les dirigeants et les membres d’Europa Nostra pour leur soutien et confiance,ainsi que pour leur dĂ©cision prise en juin dernier Ă  Oslo de me confier un autre mandat en tant que PrĂ©sident d’Europa Nostra. C’est un grand honneur, une grande responsabilitĂ© et un grand plaisir pour moi. Je demeure fermement engagĂ© Ă  promouvoir la mission et l’action d’Europa Nostra non seulement Ă  travers l’Europe, mais aussi Ă  travers le monde entier. 7

D U M E S S A G E

J’ai aussi voulu exprimer mon soutien personnel Ă  deux campagnes de grande envergure menĂ©es en France en faveur de deux sites du patrimoine en danger : un Ă  Paris - Les Serres d’Auteuil menacĂ©es par la construction d’un nouveau grand stade de tennis pour Roland Garros et l’ autre Ă  Lyon - Le MusĂ©e des Tissus dont la survie est menacĂ©e par le manque de soutien financier adĂ©quat. Il est trĂšs gratifiant de constater que certains premiers rĂ©sultats positifs ont Ă©tĂ© obtenus grĂące Ă  cette large mobilisation de la sociĂ©tĂ© civile en France et au-delĂ .

Je me rĂ©jouissais d’ĂȘtre en personne Ă  Oslo pour une impressionnante nouvelle CĂ©rĂ©monie de remise des Prix europĂ©ens du patrimoine, tenue dans un endroit si symbolique et emblĂ©matique - l’HĂŽtel de ville d’Oslo, cĂ©lĂšbre pour abriter tous les ans la CĂ©rĂ©monie du Prix Nobel de la Paix. La CĂ©rĂ©monie d’Oslo a bel et bien confirmĂ© notre ambition de faire connaĂźtre nos Prix, gĂ©rĂ©s en partenariat avec l’Union europĂ©enne, comme les “Prix Nobel du Patrimoine” en Europe. HĂ©las, en raison de tristes circonstances familiales, je me suis trouvĂ© dans l’obligation d’annuler ma participation au dernier moment. NĂ©anmoins, j’ai Ă©tĂ© ravi de fĂ©liciter personnellement nos laurĂ©ats pour leurs rĂ©alisations exceptionnelles dans un message audio retransmis lors de la cĂ©rĂ©monie.

A N N U E L

De ce fait, j’ai tenu Ă  envoyer un message vidĂ©o personnel pour l’annonce publique de nos sites sĂ©lectionnĂ©s en 2016 qui s’est tenue en mars Ă  Venise. En coopĂ©ration avec les Institutions de l’UE,les autoritĂ©s italiennes et toutes les organisations de la sociĂ©tĂ© civile en Italie, en Europe et dans le monde, nous devons en effet rĂ©unir nos forces pour faire en sorte que Venise et sa Lagune subsistent pour enchanter encore de nombreuses gĂ©nĂ©rations aprĂšs nous.

R A P P O R T

C’est un grand plaisir pour moi de prĂ©senter ce nouveau Rapport annuel d’Europa Nostra qui illustre parfaitement nos nombreuses rĂ©alisations en 2015. L’annĂ©e derniĂšre a Ă©tĂ© marquĂ©e par la consolidation d’une sĂ©rie d’alliances et partenariats prometteurs, comme expliquĂ© par notre PrĂ©sident exĂ©cutif et notre SecrĂ©taire gĂ©nĂ©rale en introduction de ce Rapport annuel. Permettez-moi d’accompagner leur propos par quelques expĂ©riences et messages personnels.

Message du Président, Maestro Plåcido Domingo


Introduction by Denis de Kergorlay, Executive President and Sneska ˘ Quaedvlieg-Mihailovic, ® Secretary General Our many important alliances with both public and private partners over the last number of years have yielded fruitful results in 2015 and have opened up new prospects for Europa Nostra which we intend to materialise in the coming years. At our wonderful Congress in Oslo last June (see pages 23-25), we presented the report “Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe”, which was the outcome of a two year collaboration between 6 European partners (see pages 11-13). Associations working for the protection of Europe’s cultural heritage now have the necessary arguments to convince their interlocutors, both public and private, as well as all potential donors, that heritage is, without any doubt, a strategic resource for Europe and that we must commit to making best use of it. This study is now our document of reference and it is up to us and our network to disseminate it wisely. This report, added to our dynamic activities in service of heritage, has culminated in a result that has thrilled all of the networks and supporters who make up our vast European heritage movement: the European Commission has recently decided to propose to the Council of Ministers and the European Parliament to organise a European Year of Cultural Heritage in 2018! This is the result of a well coordinated and convincing campaign and presents us with enormous opportunities: it is now up to us to seize them.

Introduction

Towards a European Year of Cultural Heritage

as they allows us to promote each of those remarkable awarded initiatives and to constantly raise awareness among new audiences by their example and the inspiration they generate (see pages 15-17).

European Heritage Awards The Heritage Awards ceremony at Oslo City Hall was a new benchmark for these annual ceremonies which are so emblematic of our actions in favour of heritage. The ceremony was held in this unique and magnificent Art Deco setting, where each year the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded; the same room where in 2012, the Nobel Peace Prize was given to the European Union for its extraordinary work in re-establishing lasting peace, itself unique for its longevity, on the European continent.

To these European Heritage Awards, we must also add other recent Award Schemes which have recently received their honours. The Helena Vaz da Silva Prize, organised since 2013 in partnership with the Centro Nacional de Cultura and with the precious support of the Gulbenkian Foundation was awarded in 2015 to Maestro Jordi Savall (Spain), an internationally renowned musician who has been strongly engaged with the promotion of culture as an instrument of dialogue and ferment of peace. In addition, the Heritage in Motion Awards, launched in 2013 by the European Museum Academy and Europa Nostra, continues to evolve especially thanks to our new partnership with Europeana.

We are aware that the laureates of our Awards are communicators, and we could even call them ambassadors, of our key message: indeed, heritage is the fertile ground for creative actions towards its conservation, development and communication. This is also the reason why we have accorded a particular importance to holding our ceremonies also “in situ”, in different locations throughout Europe,

Campaigning towards saving heritage in danger Three years after the launch of our “7 Most Endangered” programme, we are delighted to note that our partnership with the European Investment Bank Institute is in excellent health! We have just published the 2016 List and in addition to the “7 Most Endangered” sites, we also designated Venice and its Lagoon as “THE Most

Cette Ă©tude, ajoutĂ©e Ă  l’ensemble de nos actions dynamiques en faveur du patrimoine, a dĂ©bouchĂ© sur un rĂ©sultat qui a enthousiasmĂ© tous nos rĂ©seaux et soutiens qui constituent ce grand mouvement europĂ©en du patrimoine : la Commission europĂ©enne vient de dĂ©cider de proposer au Conseil des ministres et au Parlement europĂ©en d’organiser en 2018 l’AnnĂ©e europĂ©enne du patrimoine culturel ! Ceci est l’aboutissement d’une campagne coordonnĂ©e et convaincante, et nous ouvre des perspectives considĂ©rables : Ă  nous de savoir les saisir. Prix europĂ©ens du patrimoine La CĂ©rĂ©monie de remise des Prix dans l’HĂŽtel de Ville d’Oslo a Ă©tĂ© une nouvelle percĂ©e dans ces cĂ©rĂ©monies si emblĂ©matiques de nos actions pour le patrimoine. Par son cadre unique tout d’abord, la magnifique salle art-dĂ©co oĂč est remis tous les ans le Prix Nobel de la Paix, dans cette salle-mĂȘme oĂč fut remis en 2012 le Prix Nobel de la Paix Ă  l’Union europĂ©enne pour son oeuvre extraordinaire de rĂ©tablissement d’une paix durable, et mĂȘme unique dans sa longĂ©vitĂ©, sur le continent europĂ©en. Nous sommes conscients que les laurĂ©ats de nos prix sont autant de relais, et nous pouvons mĂȘme dire d’ambassadeurs, de nos messages : oui, le patrimoine est un terreau fertile d’actions crĂ©atives tant dans la conservation, la mise en valeur, et la transmission du patrimoine. C’est

Campagnes pour sauver le patrimoine en pĂ©ril Trois ans aprĂšs le lancement de notre programme « Les 7 sites les plus menacĂ©s en Europe », nous constatons avec joie que notre partenariat avec l’Institut de la Banque europĂ©enne d’investissement est en excellente santĂ© ! Nous venons de publier la Liste 2016 des 7 sites tout en dĂ©signant, pour la premiĂšre fois, un site comme Ă©tant « Le site le plus en danger en Europe », Ă  savoir Venise et sa Lagune. De plus, nous observons des premiers rĂ©sultats positifs et encourageants concernant des sites qui ont figurĂ© sur les deux listes prĂ©cĂ©dentes. Ainsi, le site de Rosia Montana en Roumanie a Ă©tĂ© inclus sur la liste indicative pour l’inscription sur la Liste du Patrimoine Mondial de l’UNESCO par le MinistĂšre roumain de la culture. Le MusĂ©e du MonastĂšre de JĂ©sus Ă  SetĂșbal au Portugal a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©habilitĂ© et ouvert au public. Enfin, les constructions autour de l’amphithĂ©Ăątre romain de DĂŒrres en Albanie ont Ă©tĂ© dĂ©molies afin de permettre la rĂ©alisation d’un ambitieux plan de rĂ©amĂ©nagement et de mise en valeur de ce site archĂ©ologique exceptionnel (voir pages 19-22). Nos ressources : matĂ©rielles et immatĂ©rielles Nous sommes heureux de constater que toutes ces avancĂ©es et ces rĂ©sultats positifs ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©s, comme l’an dernier, dans l’équilibre de nos finances, grĂące Ă  la maitrise de nos dĂ©penses et la consolidation de nos partenariats publics et privĂ©s (voir pages 42-45). Au moment oĂč s’achĂšve le mandat de notre TrĂ©soriĂšre, nous remercions donc vivement Madame Truze Lodder pour avoir su nous conduire Ă  ce beau 9

DĂ©sormais les associations qui oeuvrent pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel europĂ©en disposent d’un outil essentiel pour convaincre tous les interlocuteurs publics et privĂ©s et tous les mĂ©cĂšnes potentiels que, concrĂštement, le patrimoine est bien une ressource stratĂ©gique pour notre Europe et qu’il faut savoir en faire bon usage. Cette Ă©tude est maintenant notre ouvrage de rĂ©fĂ©rence, c’est donc Ă  nous et Ă  notre rĂ©seau de savoir le diffuser Ă  bon escient.

A ces Prix europĂ©ens du patrimoine, il faut ajouter des autres Prix plus rĂ©cents, mais qui ont dĂ©sormais acquis leurs « lettres de noblesse ». Il s’agit du Prix Helena Vaz da Silva, gĂ©rĂ© en partenariat avec le Centro Nacional de Cultura et avec le soutien prĂ©cieux de la Fondation Gulbenkian. Ce Prix a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©cernĂ© en 2015 Ă  Maestro Jordi Savall (Espagne), musicien de renommĂ©e internationale qui est fortement engagĂ© dans la promotion de la culture comme instrument de dialogue et de ferment de la paix dans le monde. En outre, le Concours des Prix Heritage in Motion, lancĂ© en 2013 conjointement par la European Museum Academy et Europa Nostra,continue Ă  se dĂ©velopper, notamment grĂące au nouveau partenariat avec Europeana.

Les nombreuses alliances nouĂ©es avec des partenaires publics et privĂ©s au cours des annĂ©es antĂ©rieures ont portĂ© leurs fruits en 2015 et ouvert de nouvelles perspectives que nous entendons bien concrĂ©tiser dans les annĂ©es Ă  venir. Au magnifique CongrĂšs qui s’est tenu Ă  Oslo en juin dernier (voir pages 23-25), nous avons prĂ©sentĂ© le rapport « Le Patrimoine culturel compte pour l’Europe » qui a Ă©tĂ© le fruit d’un travail commun menĂ© pendant deux ans par 6 partenaires europĂ©ens (voir pages 11-13).

aussi la raison pour laquelle nous accordons une importance toute particuliĂšre aux cĂ©rĂ©monies de remise de prix « in situ » au travers de l’Europe, car elles permettent de valoriser toutes les initiatives remarquables et de sensibiliser sans cesse de nouveaux publics par leur exemplaritĂ© et l’inspiration qu’elles gĂ©nĂšrent (voir pages 15-17).

Endangered Heritage Site in Europe”. In addition, this year we observed the first positive and encouraging results concerning sites which were included on the two previous years’ lists (see page 00). The site of Rosia Montana in Romania has been included on the tentative list for UNESCO’s World Heritage List by the Romanian Ministry of Culture while the Manueline Style Monastery and Church of Jesus in SetĂșbal in Portugal has been renovated and re-opened to the public. Finally, the contemporary structures surrounding the Roman Amphitheatre in DĂŒrres, Albania have been demolished to make way for an ambitious plan to redevelop this exceptional archaeological site (see pages 19-20).

Our resources: material and immaterial We are delighted to note that all of these advances and positive results were accomplished, as in the previous year, with a balanced budget, thanks to the proficient management of our spending and the consolidation of our public and private partnerships (see page 4245). As her term as our treasurer ends, we warmly thank Mrs Truze Lodder for having successfully steered this important result, while expressing our full confidence in her successor who will be appointed by the Council in Madrid.

However, “Il n’y a ni richesse ni force d’hommes,” said Jean Bodin, the great jurist and French philosopher of the 16th century. All of our success in 2016, added to that of preceding years, is thanks to those who are so generously dedicated to this noble cause of heritage. We would like to congratulate all of our members, our national delegations and our many volunteers.We would also like to emphasise the level of commitment of members of key decision-making bodies of our organisation and their excellent interaction with our dynamic and very effective! - Secretariat in The Hague and Brussels. A big thank you especially to Erik Schultz and to all Norwegian members for the impeccable organisation of our annual Congress in Oslo, which was accompanied by a great initiative: the training workshop for young crafters from all over Europe. This type of action is essential for the transmission of skills and knowledge to the next generation and must remain at the heart of our concerns. Finally, we are immensely grateful to Maestro Placido Domingo, who is so kindhearted and so attentive to all of us and so convinced of this great cause of heritage that he embodies... so masterfully!

rĂ©sultat, tout en exprimant notre pleine confiance Ă  son successeur qui sera dĂ©signĂ© par le Conseil Ă  Madrid. Toutefois, « Il n’y a ni richesse ni force que d’hommes », disait Jean Bodin, ce grand juriste et philosophe français du 16e siĂšcle. Si tous ces succĂšs de 2016 ont pu s’ajouter Ă  ceux des annĂ©es prĂ©cĂ©dentes, c’est grĂące Ă  toutes celles et ceux qui se donnent sans compter pour cette noble cause du patrimoine. Aussi nous voulons fĂ©liciter l’ensemble de nos adhĂ©rents, nos dĂ©lĂ©gations nationales et nos nombreux bĂ©nĂ©voles. Nous soulignons aussi l’engagement des principaux organes dĂ©cisionnels de notre organisation et leur excellente interaction avec notre SecrĂ©tariat dynamique - et performant ! - Ă  La Haye et Ă  Bruxelles. Un grand merci notamment Ă  Erik Schultz et aux autres membres norvĂ©giens pour l’organisation impeccable de notre CongrĂšs annuel Ă  Oslo, qui fut accompagnĂ© d’une belle innovation : l’atelier de formation pour de jeunes artisans en provenance de toute l’Europe.

Lobby

A key pillar of Europa Nostra’s action is providing the leadership and the platform for an effective lobbying at the European level with the aim to secure adequate support for cultural heritage concerns in various areas of policy making and funding.

On 12 June at a major conference held in Oslo during the European Heritage Congress, Europa Nostra together with 5 partners – ENCATC, Heritage Europe, International Cultural Centre (Krakow), Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation (Leuven) and the Heritage Alliance (London) – presented, for the first time, the main results of the CHCFE project, supported by the EU Culture programme. Top-level representatives from European policy circles, namely the European Commissioner Tibor Navracsics, the Norwegian Secretary of State for European Affairs Invild Stub and the Vice-President of the Walloon Government Maxime PrĂ©vot, participated in the conference, which assembled 240 people.

From June to December, Europa Nostra promoted the CHCFE Report on numerous occasions, including at the networking event at Bertelsmann’s Office in Brussels (22 September), the forum ‘Cultural Heritage Works for South East Europe’ in Igalo (23 September) and the CHCFE event in Nicosia (27 October).

On 16 September, the main findings of the CHCFE project were presented and discussed at the European Parliament in Brussels, on the occasion of the first ever meeting of the EP Intergroup on European tourism

EUROPEAN YEAR OF CULTURAL HERITAGE (EYCH) 2015 was an important year for cultural heritage in Europe. On 8 September in Brussels, the European Parliament adopted (with over 80% of MEPs voting in favour) the Resolution ‘Towards an integrated approach to cultural heritage in Europe’, which features a specific recommendation to the European Commission to designate a European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH), preferably in 2018. The proposal to hold an EYCH was positively received by all EU Institutions. Europa Nostra fully supports this initiative, which has a particularly strong political significance at the time when the entire European project faces so many challenges.

Danger

Saving endangered monuments, sites and landscapes lies at the heart of Europa Nostra’s mission. We campaign with our partners and member organisations side by side to rescue heritage treasures across Europe.

Civil society organisations and public bodies from all over Europe submitted their nominations for the third edition of The 7 Most Endangered programme. On 9-10 November, an international panel of experts in various fields met in Brussels to discuss the applications and shortlist the most threatened heritage landmarks in Europe. On 10 December, Europa Nostra and the European Investment Bank Institute (EIBI), the founding partner of this initiative which is also supported by the EU Creative Europe programme, announced the 14 shortlisted heritage sites. On 28 November, the Board of Europa Nostra gathered in Luxembourg to decide on the final list. On 16 March 2016, during a public event in Venice, Europa Nostra and the EIBI made the public announcement.

THE 7 MOST ENDANGERED MONUMENTS AND SITES LISTED IN 2016 ARE: ■ Archaeological site of Ererouyk and village of Ani Pemza, ARMENIA

Ererouyk was once one of the most important centres of worship on the border between Turkey and Armenia. The 6th century basilica is highly endangered and the surrounding archaeological area is at risk of being lost forever. Nominated by The Centre of Studies and Documentation of Armenian Culture in Italy (CSDCA).

The impressive Patarei Sea Fortress was built in 1840.Between 1920 and 2005, it was used to detain political prisoners. Today, this important “lieu de mĂ©moire”is threatened by rapid deterioration due to the harsh climate and the lack of maintenance. Nominated by The Estonian Heritage Society. ■ Helsinki-Malmi Airport, FINLAND

Built in the mid-1930s in the functionalist architectural style, the Helsinki-Malmi Airport is one of the best-preserved and still active pre-World War II international airports in the world. However, it is seriously threatened by new residential developments. Nominated by Europa Nostra Finland with The Friends of Malmi Airport. ■ Colbert Swing Bridge in Dieppe, Normandy, FRANCE

The Colbert Bridge is the last large swing bridge still operating in Europe with its original hydraulic mechanism. It is crossed by 12,000 vehicles and 1,800 pedestrians every day. However, the owner has decided to replace the 1889 bridge with a new and more expensive structure. Nominated by Fondation du Patrimoine. ■ Kampos of Chios, island of Chios, GREECE

The Kampos of Chios is a semi-rural area that exemplifies the coexistence of Byzantine, Genoese and local architectural styles and influences. It used to consist, principally, of more than 200 estates containing orchards,mansions and churches.The site is under permanent threat due to lack of maintenance, unsuitable uses and invasive urban planning. Nominated by Elliniki Etairia with The Society of Friends of the Kampos of Chios.

■ Convent of St. Anthony of Padua, Extremadura, SPAIN

This Convent was for centuries a religious and cultural landmark in western Spain. Built in the late 15th century and greatly renovated in the mid-17th century, it featured a Gothic church and a Renaissance cloister. Although it is a Monument of Cultural Interest, the Convent is in an advanced state of disrepair. Nominated by Hispania Nostra. ■ Ancient city of Hasankeyf and its surroundings,TURKEY

A C T I V I T I E S

The 12,000-year-old settlement of Hasankeyf in south-eastern Turkey is a living museum of epic proportions, with monuments from different civilisations. In spite of that,80% of the city and its surroundings will be flooded if the Ilìsu hydroelectric dam project is implemented as planned. Nominated by The Cultural Awareness Foundation. In addition, Europa Nostra and the EIB Institute - following a firm recommendation from an international advisory panel of experts - decided that the Venice Lagoon in Italy should be declared the most endangered heritage site in Europe, given the paramount importance of this heritage landmark to Europe and the world,as well as the complexity and magnitude of the challenges posed. Covering 550km2, the Venice Lagoon is one of the most important transitional ecosystems in the Mediterranean. Despite being protected by a range of national and international regulations, the Lagoon faces great threats – increased flow of large-scale ships, the dredging of ever deeper channels, erosion of the seabed, pollution, and industrial fishing – which are jeopardizing its very existence, thus putting the city of Venice at higher risk. Nominated by Italia Nostra.

■ Couvent Saint Antoine de Padoue, EstrĂ©madure, ESPAGNE

Ce couvent fut pendant des siĂšcles un symbole religieux et culturel de l’Espagne occidentale. Construit Ă  la fin du 15Ăšme siĂšcle et largement rĂ©novĂ© au milieu du 17Ăšme siĂšcle, il comprend une Ă©glise gothique ainsi qu’un cloĂźtre de la Renaissance.Bien qu’il fĂ»t classĂ© Monument d’IntĂ©rĂȘt Culturel, le couvent se trouve dans un Ă©tat avancĂ© de dĂ©labrement. NominĂ© par Hispania Nostra. ■ Ancienne ville d’Hasankeyf et ses environs,TURQUIE Le site d’Hasankeyf,situĂ© dans le sud-est de la Turquie et vieux de 12 000 ans, est un musĂ©e vivant aux proportions immenses, comprenant des monuments de diffĂ©rentes civilisations. MalgrĂ© cela, 80% de la ville et de ses environs seront inondĂ©s si le projet planifiĂ© de barrage hydroĂ©lectrique IlĂŹsu est mis en place. NominĂ©e par La Fondation pour la Sensibilisation Culturelle (The Cultural Awareness Foundation). De plus, Europa Nostra et l’Institut de la BEI, conformĂ©ment Ă  la forte recommandation de leur panel consultatif international de spĂ©cialistes, ont dĂ©cidĂ© que la Lagune de Venise en Italie devait ĂȘtre dĂ©clarĂ©e comme le site le plus menacĂ© en Europe. Cette dĂ©cision se rĂ©fĂšre Ă  l’importance capitale de ce site pour l’Europe et pour le monde, ainsi qu’à la complexitĂ© et l’ampleur des dĂ©fis posĂ©s. Couvrant 550km2, la Lagune de Venise est l’un des Ă©cosystĂšmes de transition les plus importants en MĂ©diterranĂ©e. Bien que protĂ©gĂ©e par un ensemble de rĂ©gulations nationales et internationales, elle doit faire face Ă  de sĂ©vĂšres menaces : un flux de trafic croissant des gros navires de croisiĂšre, le dragage de voies toujours plus profondes, l’érosion des fonds marins, la pollution, et la pĂȘche industrielle. Celles-ci compromettent l’existence mĂȘme de la lagune et mettent ainsi la ville de Venise en grand pĂ©ril. NominĂ©e par Italia Nostra.

THE 7 MOST ENDANGERED 2013: FIRST SUCCESS STORIES Most of the sites included on the first and second lists of 7 Most Endangered have made significant progress. Among the first success stories are three sites listed in 2013:the 15th century monastery in SetĂșbal in Portugal,which was partially restored and reopened to the public in June, after 23 years of closure; the ancient mining landscape of Rosia Montana in Romania, which was classified as a Historic Monument and put on the country’s tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status at the beginning of 2016, thus blocking the large-scale gold mining project which had been promoted by a Canada-based multinational company for 15 years; and the Roman amphitheatre in DurrĂ«s in Albania,whose first phase of rehabilitation was successfully concluded in February 2016. These achievements are primarily due to the proactivity of the organisations that nominated the sites and to the deep involvement of the local community, combined with effective cooperation at the national level. Europa Nostra and the European Investment Bank Institute are proud to have provided technical and financial expertise. It is hoped that such a winning formula can be repeated in as many cases as possible.

LES « 7 SITES LES PLUS MENACES » EN 2013 : PREMIERES REUSSITES La plupart des sites figurant sur la premiĂšre et seconde liste des « 7 sites les plus menacĂ©s » ont rĂ©alisĂ© des progrĂšs considĂ©rables. Trois sites sĂ©lectionnĂ©s en 2013 se trouvent parmi les premiĂšres rĂ©ussites : le MonastĂšre du 15Ăšme siĂšcle Ă  SetĂșbal au Portugal, qui a Ă©tĂ© partiellement restaurĂ© et rĂ©ouvert au public en juin aprĂšs 23 annĂ©es de fermeture ; le paysage minier historique de Rosia Montana en Roumanie, qui a Ă©tĂ© classĂ© Monument Historique et inclus sur la liste provisoire du pays afin d’obtenir le statut de site du Patrimoine Mondial de l’UNESCO dĂ©but 2016 (bloquant ainsi l’imposant projet d’exploitation des mines d’or impulsĂ© depuis 15 ans par une entreprise multinationale basĂ©e au Canada) ; et l’amphithĂ©Ăątre romain Ă  DurrĂ«s en Albanie, dont la premiĂšre phase de rĂ©habilitation a Ă©tĂ© conclue avec succĂšs en fĂ©vrier 2016. Ces accomplissements s’expliquent essentiellement par la proactivitĂ© des organisations qui ont nominĂ© les sites et la forte implication des communautĂ©s locales, auxquelles s’ajoute une efficace coopĂ©ration nationale.Europa Nostra et l’Institut de la Banque europĂ©enne d’investissement sont fiers d’avoir fourni leur expertise technique et financiĂšre. Avec l’espoir que de telle formules gagnantes puissent ĂȘtre rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©es dans le plus grand nombre de cas possibles.

CAPACITY BUILDING DAYS IN BRUSSELS Chief Executive Officers (or their representatives) from heritage NGOs based in 13 European countries participated in the first Capacity Building Days held in Brussels on 15-17 April. The programme was conceived with a dual goal: informing heritage NGOs about EU policy on cultural heritage and funding possibilities available while at the same time providing a platform for exchange of good practice amongst NGOs themselves. This was done by means of presentations – made by top-level officials from the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Investment Bank Institute and the EEA Funding Mechanism –, roundtable discussions and participation in high-profile networking events.

Following the granting of the permit to enlarge the Roland Garros sport complex with the construction of a tennis stadium partly located on the site of the Serres d’ Auteuil Botanical Gardens in Paris, on 18/12 Europa Nostra and its President Maestro PlĂĄcido Domingo added their voice to support the civil society plea for the suspension of the demolition works threatening this architectural and botanical masterpiece of the late 19th century.

Country Representations | DĂ©lĂ©gations nationales A growing number of Country Representations has been, or is in the process of being established to represent and promote the interests of Europa Nostra in individual countries. They seek to ensure the best possible two-way communication between members in their country and Europa Nostra’s main decision-making bodies and the International Secretariat in The Hague and in Brussels. Country representations provide valuable support to the various aspects of Europa Nostra’s work (Policy matters, Heritage in Danger, Heritage Awards) and they contribute to an increased visibility of Europa Nostra through effective membership drives, successful fundraising efforts, and by organising local Europa Nostra events (lectures, debates, local award ceremonies, visits).

Introduction Reporting the financial results of 2015 for Europa Nostra and its financial position per 31 December 2015 is both my duty and my privilege.In the light of Europa Nostra’s impressive activities and achievements during 2015, as described by our President,Executive President and Secretary General,I am happy to report that Europa Nostra was able to close the year 2015 with a modest financial surplus, which is a positive sign after the small deficit of 2014. Nevertheless, the income and expenditure figures continue to be relatively low for an organisation with such an invaluable impact on and meaning for cultural heritage in Europe. Income The total income for 2015 increased by € 145.464 to € 1.213.314,compared to 2014 (total € 1.067.850). Membership contributions in all categories increased, with a total amount of € 23.642 compared to the year before: Individual Members + € 7.456,Member Organisations + € 8.916 and Associate Members + € 7.270. The amount of donation and support income received in 2015 from individuals, foundations and organisations was € 344.421 (in 2014 € 364.978).The income related to activities 2015 amounted to € 711.931 (2014 € 568.295).The increase of € 143.636 was mainly a result of higher EC grants and higher amounts fundraised for specific activities. Expenditure Total expenditure in 2015 amounted to € 1.156.175 (an increase of only € 11.267 compared to 2014).The increased support by EU and other parties for Europa Nostra’s numerous activities made it possible to account for € 898.382 as Expenditure activities, which is 78% of the total expenditure. This means that overhead costs reported as General expenses for personnel, housing, public relations, communication, general fundraising and depreciation amounted to € 257.792 which is 22% of the total expenditure. The ratio between expenditure on activities and general expenditure improved over the years (from an activities/overhead ratio of 59/41 in 2012 through 66.5/33.5 in 2014 to 78/22 in 2015); this low percentage of overhead costs shows the continuous improvement in effectiveness and efficiency of our International Secretariat. However, it is very important to keep in mind that the structural expenditure of the International Secretariat,without the possibility of allocation of cost to projects, could not possibly be any lower than what it is now: notwithstanding the substantial growth of workload in Brussels and The Hague, the structural cost of the International Secretariat in 2015 has increased only by 6% from € 629.909 compared to € 592.991 in 2012. This proves that cost control in The Hague and Brussels has been very good. Result The financial surplus for the year 2015 is € 61.788.This enables Europa Nostra, after a minor mutation of the two labelled funds, to replenish the General Reserve from € 118.952 per 31 December 2014 with € 60.798 to € 179.750 per 31 December 2015, bringing the total reserves to € 379.018 (compared to 42

€ 317.230 per 31 December 2014).This is in line with the Board’s ambition to

strengthen the organisation’s financial position. Risk Analysis and Risk Mitigation Potential operational, financial and reputational risks identified are: illness or loss of key staff; not fulfilling the obligations inherent to the grants; loss of income from individuals, foundations and organisations; incapability to raise sufficient new income; unintentionally damaging the reputation of Europa Nostra as a result of a mistake being made in the multitude of simultaneous tasks.The positive atmosphere and energy within the Europa Nostra team, as well as the appreciation Europa Nostra receives internally and externally for the content and importance of its achievements, reduce the probability of these risks materializing, but only to a certain extent. Defining the organisation’s risks is still a work in progress and deserves the ongoing attention of the Board and International Secretariat. In 2015 however, a change in financial staff and preparing the transition to a new system for financial administration (which in the meantime was successfully implemented) had to be given priority. Looking Ahead Handing over my duties to the next Treasurer, to be appointed during the General Assembly 2016 in Madrid, I remain confident that Europa Nostra will continue to work towards a robust, solid, future-proof financial basis, necessary for the implementation of Europa Nostra’s mission without compromising on the quality and quantity of our staff both in The Hague and Brussels. In 2016, a careful selection process has taken place, in close cooperation with our Audit Committee, to appoint a new external auditor of a high professional calibre, with relevant international expertise in nongovernmental organisations and with an affordable cost to replace KPMG after 9 years of engagement as Europa Nostra’s external auditor. Gratitude As usual, we are grateful to our dedicated staff in The Hague and Brussels, to our numerous volunteers in many countries; as well as to our members, partners, donors and advisors. A special word of thanks this time goes to KPMG,thanking them for the many years they served as our external auditors.


Rapport financier de la TrésoriÚre

DĂ©penses Les dĂ©penses totales de 2015 se sont Ă©levĂ©es Ă  1.156.175 € (soit une augmentation de seulement 11.267 € comparĂ© Ă  2014). Le soutien accru reçu de l’UE et d’autres acteurs pour les nombreuses activitĂ©s d’Europa Nostra a permis d’allouer 898.382 € aux dĂ©penses liĂ©es aux activitĂ©s, ce qui reprĂ©sente 78% des dĂ©penses totales. Cela signifie que les frais gĂ©nĂ©raux dĂ©clarĂ©s comme dĂ©penses gĂ©nĂ©rales pour les frais de personnel, de logement, de relations publiques, communication, et collecte de fonds gĂ©nĂ©rale, et de dĂ©prĂ©ciation se sont Ă©levĂ©s Ă  257.792 €, soit 22% des dĂ©penses totales. Le ratio entre les dĂ©penses liĂ©es aux activitĂ©s et les dĂ©penses gĂ©nĂ©rales s’est amĂ©liorĂ© au fil des ans (d’un ratio activitĂ©s/ dĂ©penses gĂ©nĂ©rales de 59/41 en 2012 Ă  66,5/33,5 en 2014 puis 78/22 en 2015). Ce faible pourcentage de dĂ©penses gĂ©nĂ©rales prouve une amĂ©lioration continue de l’efficacitĂ© et de la productivitĂ© de notre SecrĂ©tariat international. NĂ©anmoins, il est important de garder Ă  l’esprit que les dĂ©penses structurelles du SecrĂ©tariat international, dans l’impossibilitĂ© d’allouer des coĂ»ts aux projets, ne pourraient ĂȘtre plus faibles qu’à l’heure actuelle : malgrĂ© une hausse sensible de la quantitĂ© de travail Ă  Bruxelles et Ă  La Haye, les coĂ»ts structurels du SecrĂ©tariat international n’ont augmentĂ© que de 6% en 2015, s’élevant Ă  629.909 € contre 592.991 € en 2012. Cela prouve que la gestion des coĂ»ts Ă  La Haye et Ă  Bruxelles a Ă©tĂ© trĂšs bien menĂ©e.

Perspectives d’avenir PrĂȘte Ă  cĂ©der mes fonctions au prochain TrĂ©sorier,Ă©lu lors de l’AssemblĂ©e gĂ©nĂ©rale 2016 Ă  Madrid, je reste confiante qu’Europa Nostra continuera Ă  travailler vers une base financiĂšre robuste, solide et Ă©volutive, nĂ©cessaire Ă  la mise en place de sa mission sans compromettre la qualitĂ© et la quantitĂ© de notre personnel Ă  La Haye et Ă  Bruxelles. En 2016, un processus de sĂ©lection rigoureux a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© en coopĂ©ration Ă©troite avec notre ComitĂ© d’audit afin d’élire un nouvel auditeur externe dotĂ© d’un profil hautement professionnel, d’une expertise internationale pertinente en organisations non-gouvernementales, et Ă  un coĂ»t abordable afin de remplacer KPMG, auditeur externe d’Europa Nostra pendant 9 ans. Remerciements Comme Ă  l’accoutumĂ©e, nous remercions notre Ă©quipe dĂ©vouĂ©e Ă  La Haye et Bruxelles, nos nombreux bĂ©nĂ©voles de diffĂ©rents pays, ainsi que nos membres, partenaires, donateurs et conseillers. Des remerciements particuliers sont adressĂ©s cette fois Ă  KMPG pour leurs nombreuses annĂ©es de service en tant qu’auditeurs externes. 43

Analyse de risques et attĂ©nuation des risques Les risques opĂ©rationnels,financiers et de rĂ©putation potentiels identifiĂ©s sont les suivants : maladie ou perte de personnel clĂ© ; non-respect des obligations inhĂ©rentes aux subventions ; perte de revenus de la part des particuliers, fondations et organisations ; incapacitĂ© Ă  lever de nouveaux revenus suffisants ; atteinte involontaire Ă  la rĂ©putation d’Europa Nostra suite Ă  une erreur commise en raison des tĂąches multiples et simultanĂ©es Ă  gĂ©rer. L’atmosphĂšre et l’énergie positives dĂ©gagĂ©es au sein de l’équipe d’Europa Nostra, ainsi que l’apprĂ©ciation qu’Europa Nostra reçoit en interne et en externe pour le contenu et l’importance de ses rĂ©alisations, rĂ©duit la probabilitĂ© que ces risques se matĂ©rialisent, mais seulement Ă  un certain degrĂ©. DĂ©finir les risques inhĂ©rents Ă  l’organisation est encore un travail en cours et mĂ©rite l’attention permanente du ComitĂ© exĂ©cutif et du SecrĂ©tariat international. En 2015 un changement au sein du personnel financier et la prĂ©paration de la transition vers un nouveau systĂšme d’administration financiĂšre (qui fut entre temps mis en place avec succĂšs) ont Ă©tĂ© les prioritĂ©s.

Revenus Les revenus totaux de 2015 ont augmentĂ© de 145.464 € par rapport Ă  2014 (total de 1.067.850 €) pour atteindre 1.213.314 €. Les cotisations des membres dans toutes les catĂ©gories ont augmentĂ© de 23.642 € au total par rapport Ă  l’annĂ©e prĂ©cĂ©dente: + 7.456 € pour les Membres individuels, + 8.916 € pour les Organisations membres et + 7.270 € pour les Organisations associĂ©es. Le montant des revenus provenant des donateurs et sponsors reçus en 2015 de la part de particuliers, de fondations et d’organisations a Ă©tĂ© de 344.421 € (364.978 € en 2014). Les revenus issus des activitĂ©s en 2015 s’est Ă©levĂ© a 711.931 € (568.295 € en 2014). Cette augmentation de 143.636 € rĂ©sulte principalement de l’allocation de subventions plus importantes de la Commission europĂ©nne et de collectes de fonds plus Ă©levĂ©es pour des activitĂ©s spĂ©cifiques.

RĂ©sultat Le surplus financier pour l’annĂ©e 2015 est de 61.788 €. Ceci permet Ă  Europa Nostra, suite Ă  une mutation mineure de deux fonds spĂ©cifiques, de rĂ©approvisionner les fonds nets de 60.798 €, passant de 118.952 € au 31 dĂ©cembre 2014 Ă  179.750 € au 31 dĂ©cembre 2015, ramenant le total des rĂ©serves Ă  379.018 € (contre 317.230 € au 31 dĂ©cembre 2014). Cela est conforme Ă  l’ambition du ComitĂ© exĂ©cutif de renforcer la situation financiĂšre de l’organisation.

R A P P O R T

Introduction PrĂ©senter les rĂ©sultats financiers d’Europa Nostra pour 2015 et sa position financiĂšre au 31 dĂ©cembre 2015 est Ă  la fois mon devoir et mon privilĂšge. Au vu des activitĂ©s et rĂ©ussites impressionnantes d’Europa Nostra en 2015 telles que dĂ©crites par notre PrĂ©sident, PrĂ©sident exĂ©cutif et SecrĂ©taire gĂ©nĂ©rale, je suis heureuse d’annoncer qu’Europa Nostra a Ă©tĂ© en mesure de clĂŽturer l’annĂ©e 2015 avec un modeste surplus financier,ce qui constitue un point positif aprĂšs le lĂ©ger dĂ©ficit de 2014. Toutefois, nos revenus et dĂ©penses demeurent relativement bas pour une organisation ayant un tel impact et une telle importance pour le patrimoine culturel en Europe.

Europa Nostra has organised an interesting Congress programme from 22-27 May in Madrid, Spain.This was made possible thanks to the dedication of our International Secretariat in The Hague and Brussels, as well as to the commitment of our country representation Hispania Nostra led by its President Araceli Pereda Alonso.
