After his participation to the XXII UIA Congress in Istanbul FIG President Holger Magel made an official visit to Ankara and had a meeting with the Turkish FIG member association, the Chamber of Surveying and Cadastral Engineers (HKMO). As the Chamber is strongly interested in land consolidation Magel's gift to HKMO President Hüsein Ülkü was the proceedings of the FIG Commission 7 Annual Meeting and Workshop in Clermont Ferrand last year (see picture). President Ülku announced that the Chamber is going to strengthen its contributions to FIG commissions work by nominating new delegates. Against the background of the intended accession of Turkey to European Union Prof. Magel was asked to give two lectures about “European policy for rural development” and “New paradigms in Land Consolidation”. One of the attentive listeners was the Director General of the Turkish Land Registry and Cadastre M. Zeki Adli.
