FIMITIC Biannual work programme for 2010 - 2011

During the following years, FIMITIC will work on various aspects so as to be able to improve the situation of all people with physical disabilities all over Europe.

Here are the objectives:

  • The Convention of the United Nations on People with Disabilities will be disseminated and all member associations of FIMITIC will take part to ensure that all countries sign the protocol.
