Dear all,
Observing the elaboration process of the disability convention
at U.N., I would say that more dialogue between the official EU
and European NGO is encouraged so that more views of
disabled people could be reflected through the official EU channel,
and also if EU could be more flexible on the issue of international
cooperation (EU,represented by Ireland at the Working Group in January,
strongly opposed the inclusion of international cooperation,
saying IC was the code name of development assistance) and
international monitoring (EU at this time does not agree to
discuss international monitoring).
EU proposal for the convention is available at the following;

Of course, we all have our homework to do.
Good luck to us all.
Best.
NAGASE Osamu
