Comments of the EEIU President
*EEIU Chapters are a local component of the Union. They operate under local law. Should it deviate from the law under which EEIU Headquarters operate (German law; see
'Constitution of Eco-Ethics International Union') the local law has priority. EEIU Fellows are distinguished supporters and representatives of the Union. They are nominated by Fellows and/or Members, and formally appointed by the President or Vice President
**Donations are a matter for local EEIU components to apply for, to use, and to account for. Headquarters supports donations and assists local components without own financial interests.
