The European Disability Forum translates its website in International Sign language:
The work of EDF covers all fields of European Union competence and a great number of initiatives. Although the European institutions might seem far for many citizens, the decisions taken by the European Union, which are the result of negotiations between all Member States, have a direct impact on disabled peoples lives. That is why, the role of EDF is so important in monitoring all EU initiatives and in proposing new legislation to advance disabled peoples rights.
