At its meeting in Brussels in November, the General Assembly enrolled two more member associations from Romania and the Russian Federation into its recently launched "Recognised European Valuer” Scheme. The REV scheme is the only international certification system which identifies those valuers who are not only qualified but who are able to prove that they continue to practice valuation, comply with lifelong learning requirements and follow a code of ethical practice.

In welcoming the new associations into the Rev Scheme, Anthony Prior, Chairman of the "REV Recognition Committee” noted that "The quality of submissions have been outstanding”

To date the associations which have joined the REV Scheme are as follows:

* INSTITUT FRANCAIS DE L'EXPERTISE IMMOBILIÈRE (IFEI)

* THE POLISH FEDERATION OF VALUERS' ASSOCIATIONS (PFVA)

* RUSSIAN SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS (RSA)

* CHAMBRE DES EXPERTS IMMOBILIERS DE FRANCE (CEIF-FNAIM)

* SYNDICAT NATIONAL DES PROFESSIONNELS IMMOBILIERS (SNPI)

* BUNDESVERBAND ÖFFENTLICH BESTELLTER UND VEREIDIGTER SOWIE QUALIFIZIERTER SACHVERSTÄNDIGER (BVS)

* INSTITUTE OF REVENUES RATING AND VALUATION (IRRV)

* ASOCIATIA NATIONALA A EVALUATORILOR DIN ROMANIA (ANEVAR)

* RUSSIAN BOARD OF APPRAISERS (RBA)

At a special ceremony during the General Assembly, 91 new recognised European valuers diplomas were awarded to French valuers from IFEI , CEIF-FNAIM and SNPI, British valuers from IRRV, German valuers from BVS, Romanian valuers from ANEVAR and Russian valuers from RSA.
