lpv:translated text	"It is to be welcomed that the current Belgian Presidency is paying special attention to improving the situation of people with disabilities and, in particular, to monitoring the signing and ratification by Member States of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, I believe that the Council’s decision of 26 November 2009 already lays the foundation for the legal situation whereby the rules of the UN Convention are applicable to European institutions, including the European Council. This means that these rules will also serve as the norm for the work of the current Belgian Presidency. The fact that Member States are at different stages of initialling and ratifying the convention cannot, in my firm opinion, create any uncertainty for EU institutions as to the effects of the convention: ratification by each Member State is not required at EU level, since the European Council – which includes Member States’ representatives and is supported by Parliament’s decision – has taken its decision in this respect. The reason I asked the competent committee to include this issue on the agenda was that the question I had asked two months ago in this respect remained unanswered, in spite of the excellent working relationship with our Spanish colleagues. I sincerely hope that an answer will be forthcoming during the Belgian Presidency. As a final note, I would like to wish our fellow Belgian Members much success and all the best in their efforts."@en1
