However, the proposal becomes a frm commitment at the COST Action E52 WMCM in Florence (April, 2008), when the Czech Republic representatives undertook to coordinate the work and so ensured this common publication. Financial assistance from the COST Action E52 resources was approved during COST Action E52 WMCM in Rzesow, Poland (October, 2008). During the COST Action E52 WMCM in Sopron, Hungary (October, 2009) the details on the publication were further developed. Te editors convey a special thanks to the initiative of Prof. Ladislav Paule (Slovakia), who suggested that contact should also be made with other countries situated in the original natural distribution area of European beech, including some countries with natural occurrence of oriental beech, and to ask them for their collaboration in the project. At the end of this four years process, we would like to express our thanks and appreciation to the Communicationes Instituti Forestalis Bohemicae publication staf, especially to Mgr. Eva Krupičková, Klára Šimerová, Šárka Holzbachová, DiS. and Marta Čížková, DiS. for their forbearance and patience in the preparation work of these proceedings. We would also wish to acknowledge all the authors from the COST Action E52 working group and other authors from various institutions for their timely processing of papers, also to all reviewers for their work and efort which contributed to the completion of this publication at a remarkable level. A special acknowledgment from frst two editors belongs to John Fennessy (Ireland) for his support role in the various contributions. Finally we wish to express our grateful thanks to the fnancial support from the COST Ofce, too. Josef Frýdl, Petr Novotný, John Fennessy & Georg von Wühlisch Editors 7 Genetic resources
