New IOC donation to the Sovereign Order of Malta

Madrid / 12.02.2021

The Executive Director of the International Olive Council has donated samples of olive oil to the Order of Malta in Spain to be used in the Order’s kitchens for forgotten or excluded members of society. These are surplus samples of extra virgin olive oil that were candidates for the IOC’s international Mario Solinas Quality Award.

This donation is particularly important and is intended as a contribution from the IOC at this time of crisis caused by covid-19, to help the many people in need. This is the third donation the Organisation has made to this charity for a total of almost 400 litres of olive oil. Currently, the Order of Malta provides more than a thousand meals a day, 7 days a week, in Madrid.

The Sovereign Order of Malta is an international charitable organisation created in 1113, today considered a subject of public international law, which maintains diplomatic relations with more than 100 states and the European Union, and has permanent observer status at the United Nations. Today, the Order of Malta is active in 120 countries and cares for people in need through its medical, social and humanitarian work.

 

Nouveau don du COI à l’Ordre souverain de Malte

Madrid – Le Directeur exécutif du Conseil oléicole international a fait un don d’échantillons d’huiles à la Fondation de l’Ordre de Malte en Espagne, qui seront utilisés dans les cuisines de l’Ordre pour les membres oubliés ou exclus de la société. Il s’agit des excédents des échantillons des huiles d’olive vierges extra candidates au Prix international du COI à la Qualité Mario Solinas.

Ce don est particulièrement important et se veut une contribution du COI en cette période de crise sanitaire due au Covid-19, pour venir en aide aux nombreuses personnes qui se trouvent dans le besoin. C’est le troisième don que réalise le Conseil oléicole international à cette organisation caritative (au total près de 400 litres d’huile d’olive). Actuellement, l’Ordre de Malte fournit à Madrid plus de mille repas par jour, 7 jours sur 7.

L’Ordre Souverain de Malte est une organisation caritative internationale créée en 1113, considérée aujourd’hui comme un sujet de droit international public, qui entretient des relations diplomatiques avec plus de 100 États et l’Union européenne, et qui a le statut d’observateur permanent auprès des Nations unies. Aujourd’hui, l’Ordre de Malte est actif dans 120 pays et s’occupe des personnes dans le besoin grâce à ses œuvres médicales, sociales et humanitaires.
