Hi,

FYI

Brussels, 5 January 2011 /// The European Union has officially ratified the
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on 23 December
2010, becoming the first intergovernmental group to sign on to any human
rights treaty. The European disability movement has been working hard to
make sure the EU conclude the Convention by the end of 2010. The European
Disability Forum welcomes this development, which is a significant landmark
and will help improve the lives of 80 million persons with disabilities in
Europe.
