Leaders of the European disability movement debated during the weekend February 18-20 the main issues that European Union institutions will be dealing with in the upcoming months. European citizens are feeling the effects of the financial crisis in their everyday lives, and the EDF want to ensure that the rights of persons with disabilities are protected and promoted in the midst of this. The European Disability Strategy and UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will serve as the supporting instruments, together with the EDF top campaign on Freedom of Movement.
