A new promotional video by the DRPI European Regional Centre about monitoring of rights of persons with disabilities is available on YouTube.

The leaders of the main political Groups in the European Parliament announced strong action to support disability rights in Europe. They signed a declaration to take up a series of important initiatives aiming at ensuring the full inclusion of persons with disabilities as well as the enforcement of their rights.

From November 17 to 18 representatives of its member organisations all around Europe discussed the steps to be taken towards a more inclusive and accessible Europe. During the meeting, the European Disability Forum adopted a Statement on the Economic Crisis in view of the upcoming European Council on 22-23 November 2012.
