IVU ONLINE NEWS - August 2005 VEGETARIANS DO IT BETTER! IX European Vegetarian Congress The 9th European Vegetarian Congress is organized under the auspices of the European Vegetarian Union (EVU). The congress will once again be organized and coordinated by the Italian Vegetarian Association, as were the European vegetarian congresses in Cervia (1985) and Bussolengo (1997). During the congress themes will be discussed, which are not only of national interest but are most of all of interest on a European scale, and which demonstrate vegetarianism's ability to help create a better world in which to live. The following arguments will
be addressed during the congress; The 9th European Vegetarian Congress will be held in Riccione, at the prestigious location of the international congress centre in Le Conchiglie Hotel. Riccione is today one of the largest and best known entertainment centres on the Romagnola Riviera. A worldly, youthful and lively spot considered the ¨green pearl¨ of the Adriatic.

Whichever of the five continents you're travelling in, or whatever exotic eating place you're visiting in your own country, this little guide makes it clear in a few simple phrases that you don't want any animal products in your meal but that you'd be delighted to try any of the vegetable dishes on offer. And if all 56 languages fail there are two pages of pictures which tell the same story and invariably produce a smile as well as a delicious meal. The cost is a mere 3.99 pounds
sterling (about 6 Euros or 7 US dollars) plus postage and package. See
