(Spain).- The mayor of Vitoria, Javier Maroto, has awarded Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia, Prince and Princess of Asturias, a very special treat: the first deck of playing cards that Fournier Playing Cards has manufactured to commemorate green capital.

Fournier has produced this deck to mark the award hold this year by the city that gave birth to the company in 1868. The European Green Capital 2012, Vitoria-Gasteiz, maintains an important role today in Fitur, the tourism fair in Madrid, the most important of which are held in Spain.

The Prince and Princess of Asturias have shown their interest in the "green" project of Vitoria, a project which was awarded on October 21, 2010 with the appointment of Vitoria as European Green Capital 2012 by the European Commission.

This award aims to recognize those cities that have a consistent record of meeting environmental standards, are committed to raising new ambitious targets for environmental improvement and sustainable development and can act as a role model to inspire other cities and promote best practices all other European cities.

Vitoria is the first Spanish city to get this award and it succeeds Stockholm in 2010 and Hamburg in 2011.
