+## Transcript
+
+Good afternoon all, colleagues... I would like to deeply thank you and thank the organizers, CPD, which is the Council of Persons with Difficulties, and Sportabili, for this very kind and warm invitation, especially from an international perspective, since Italy is a member of the Convention, and it's really good to see what's happening on ground, because once I meet again with other colleagues at the Convention I will have to do a report on this country visit and let me tell you it will be a very positive one. 
+
+I must say that I am quite impressed by all the measures that has been taken to promote accessible tourism, and I can surely also see that Italy again as a member state to the CRPD... it is moving positively... in the disability movement as a whole, at large, and disability at large. Because accessible tourism is just part of the whole area of disability, so this is really quite good to see and I wanna definitely thank my colleague [[? Iver and President Gace of Dion ?]] because they brought me to this tourism -- accessible tourism, because prior to that, my thoughts were always on accessibility as a whole, but now I can see a great promotion in this particular area.
+
+While we are talking accessibility and promoting the accessible tourism, I would like to draw the attention of the Italian government and authorities, and all stakeholders, of course -- NGOs and DBOs -- to the issue of accessibility for the locals as well, for Italians with disabilities. Because for us, we can come as a tourist and just for two, three days or a week, we see the airport being accessible, tourism sites being accessible, and we leave. From an international perspective, I have to think of persons -- Italians -- with disabilities, so this is quite important to us.
+
+Again, you know, I encourage full implementation of the CRPD at all levels. Talking about one issue such as accessible tourism which surely impacts implementation of particularly Article 9 and Article 30 of the Convention, not to mention the increasing level of awareness toward equal opportunity and full participation of Italians with disabilities. Again, I'd like to thank you for the very kind invitation and what I have observed as I mentioned will positively reflect in the report that I will submit to the Committee.
+
+On the situations of persons with disabilities here in Italy, and again, you know, I can see as my colleague [[? Iver ?]] said a very bright future, very fruitful future for Italians with disabilities and I encourage the networking and outreach among within the state of Italy, whether we go north central and south, and among the EU level and outreach toward an international cooperation. Because this is where we can talk about Article 32 of the Convention, which deals with international cooperation and good lessons learned and best practices can be exchanged on the international arena, because what you have, I have seen some good things I can take back to my region, maybe some good things we have in the region that you can utilize here. So it's a visa-versa thing and it can be really very lucrative and helpful to all.
+
+I hope that in the upcoming events we can see more improvement towards inclusiveness, and that we can truly say the society for all. Just like we say accessibile for all, we can say society for all. I think my colleagues have touched upon many issues that I wanted to elaborate on, but I can say also the report -- state report will be coming to us toward the end of this year or by next year, and events like this and seeing on-ground what is happening will reflect positively on the state of Italy and I can say to conclude, really, Viva Italia.

+## Transcript
+
+On behalf of the Committee on the Rights for Persons with Disabilities, it is my pleasure to join with the rest of the world in the celebration of the 2009 International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
+
+I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate the message from the former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Kofi Annan. In 2006, upon the inauguration of the CRPD, Mr. Annan said on the importance of the new convention that:
+
+> "Too often, those living with disabilties have been seen as objects of embarrassment, and at best, of condescending pity and charity."
+
+On paper, persons with disabilities have enjoyed the same rights as others. In real life, they have often been relegated to the margins and denied the opportunities that others take for granted. The work of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is done in the context of the underrepresented around the world, and is tasked with adding substance to the rights on paper Mr. Annan spoke of. I hope that through this Day of Disability, we can raise awareness of the work and goals of this treaty, and in doing so, ultimately provide meaningful change in the lives of the over 650 million persons with disabilities around the world.
+
+The theme of this year's celebration: empowering persons with disabilities with the right to act. This is one of the areas in which the new Convention makes significant shifts in our concepts, attitudes, and practices, that must be changed. We are indeed talking about gradually replacing the guardianship system by a system in which persons with disabilities are not replaced, but assisted in their decision making. We are also talking about, for example, of the rights of persons with disabilities to exercise their free voting in elections, including the right to choose their own assistants. We are talking of the rights of everyone to open a bank account and sign long contracts with no discrimination of any kind. And we are talking about the rights to education and to work in an accessible environment and other areas.
+
+The involvement of governments, civil society, and individuals everywhere in the process of reaching these goals must be cooperative and proactive. In the spirit of participation on this day, governments should work toward ratification and implementation of the CRPD. Civil society and individuals everywhere can participate with awareness-raising, discussion groups, and by voicing to the leaders of the world, that we want fairness, dignity, and equality for all of us. Again, let us empower persons with disabilities with the right to act, and I wish to you all, a productive and successful International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
