of Ordre des Géomètres-Experts
Marseille, France, 23-25 June 2010
FIG Vice President Prof. Dr. Dalal S. Alnaggar represented the FIG
President at the 40th Congress of Ordre des Géomètres-Experts (OGE) l’Agenda 21 des géomètres-experts in June in Marseille. She attended the
congress for four days including meetings of the Fédération des Géomètres
Francophones (FGF) and the Mediterranean Union of Surveyors (UMG). The 40th
OGE congress with 700 registered participants from 30 countries was a big
success. The congress focussed in three main topics: sustainable management
of companies; sustainable management of territory and planning; and
sustainable management of land. Mr. Benoist Apparu, Secretary of
State in charge of Housing and Urban Planning, gave a keynote presentation
on the 25th of June.
The programme at the 40th Congress of OGE was in French with
interpretation into English. The opening address was made by OGE President
Pierre Bibollet who together with the organising committee was
responsible for the congress programme. After the opening welcome addresses
members of the organising committee explained in a very attractive and
modern scenario the work plan of the Congress.
The first day of the congress concentrated on two main topics: "How to
manage the business of a company in a sustainable way" and "How to implement
the environmental responsible within a company". Both topics generated also
a lively discussion. At the end of the first day the Director of the IGN
gave technical notes about “The GEOFONCIER” and launched the project.
The day was closed with a very well organized dinner.
On the second day four main topics were presented in an interactive way:
"Permanent Extension of the Lands"; "How to Create Sustainable
Land Management", "Ideas Behind Land Sustainability", and "How
to Secure Property Transaction". At the end of the day there was a
signing ceremony of the “GEOFONCIER” project with the presence of the
president of the congress, the director of AMF and the director of DGFIP.
The gala dinner was organised at Parc Chanot where Prof. Dalal Alnaggar
gave the speech on behalf of the FIG President.
On the last day of the congress at the closing ceremony there were
several speeches from the local organizers and from several directors of
leading companies in France. A very attractive video from the Director of
the local organizing committee of the FIG Working Week 2011 was presented
inviting participants to the next FIG conference in Marrakech in May 2011.
At the exhibition that lasted for three days 54 surveying companies
exhibited their products.
According to OGE President Bibollet the main outcomes of the congress for
the French surveyors are:
- The implementation of Agenda 21 of the surveying profession has been
considered a true strategic action plan for the surveying profession.
The French OGE is the first professional body to develop a professional
Agenda 21 in France. Defined according to surveys of surveyors, their
employees, their customers and partners, the Agenda 21, presented at the
closing session of the congress is a program of concrete actions
directed towards the sustainable development. This policy document is a
true starting point for the implementation of a development model which
would be more respectful of man and his environment at large.
- The modernization of public service delegation with the operational
implementation, effective 1 July 2010, of the new proceedings for
standard boundary delimitations, including the geo-referencing of these
delimitations implemented under this same delegation of public service;
- Launching of the GEOFONCIER portal placing French surveyors at the
heart of the French digital chain;
- The transposition of the Directive on Services, which is already
substantially impacting the organization of the profession and the legal
structure of its companies.
On Monday 21 June prior the OGE congress there was a meeting of the
Fédération des Géomètres Francophones FGF that has been initiated in 2001.
The meeting agenda focussed on major projects had been planned and
executed in different countries like Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and Colombia by
FIT. In addition projects in Africa implemented by ATGT and about land
consolidation in Bulgaria were introduced. At the end of the meeting a
presentation of the Higher School for Surveyors and Topographers was
presented.
