Who is Lorenzo Natali?
Established 28 years ago by the European Commission, the
Lorenzo Natali Media Prize is awarded in memory of Lorenzo Natali, a
former Commissioner for Development and staunch defender of freedom of
expression, democracy, human rights and development. He served three
terms as one of Italy’s European Commissioners.
Natali played an important role in the EU accession process of
Greece, Spain and Portugal. He also helped enact key measures to combat
pollution and improve living conditions across Europe. In his final
four-year term as Commissioner, from 1985 until 1989, he was handed
responsibility for cooperation and development policy in the Commission
under President Jacques Delors. It was in this capacity that he set up a
broad network of relations with the governments and leaders of African,
Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
