ZAGREB - CROATIA

Mr Chairman, Official Authorities, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Your conference is indeed a major event for women with disabilities not only in Croatia, as hosting Country, but also in Europe at large. I would therefore like to start, on behalf of the European Commission, by congratulating all the organisers for having organised such an international conference.
