Dear Mr Wolfe-Murray,
 
Thank you for your messages. I apologise for delay in replying.
 
As the Conference was organised jointly by the Council of Europe and the European Commission, the related materials are share in our websites: You will find the speeches and presentations, including the presenation of Ms De Luca,  in the website of the Council of Europe:
Certain materials, like the study commissioned by the European Commission is published in the website of the European Judicial Network in civil and commercial matters:

The NGOs that had sent representatives to participate to the Conference were (for which the organisators covered the costs fo one representative per NGO):

1)Adoption UK
2)Against Child Trafficking
3)AMICI DELL'ADOZIONE
4)Amici dei Bambini
5)ASESORÍA DE ADOPCIONES (ADA)- ADOPTIONSBERATUNG e.V 
6)ASSOCIATION "BIRUINTA" (VICTORY)
7)Attraverso il Mondo per un Sorriso
8)BAAF, British Association for Adoption and Fostering
9) ChildONEurope
10) CIAI Centro Italiano Aiuti all'Infanzia
11
) Coordinamento Coppie Adottive Bulgaria
12)Defenseur des Enfants
13) EFA, Enfance et Familles d'adoption
14) Euroadopt
15) Fondazione Patrizia Nidoli
16)For the Children SOS
17) International Adoption Association
18) International Social Service ISS
19)Nordic Adoption Council
20) Save the Children Finland 
21)Terres des Hommes
22) United Adoptees International

Of these, the costs of one representative of Adoption UK, AMICI DELL'ADOZIONE, Amici dei Bambini, BAAF British Association for Adoption and Fostering, ChildONEurope, Coordinamento Coppie Adottive Bulgaria, EFA Enfance et Familles d'adoption, Euroadopt, International Social Service ISS, Nordic Adoption Council and Terres des Hommes were covered by the first budget allocation. With the additional budget, we were able then to cover the costs of the one representative of also the rest of the NGOs (situating in the EU) that had registered by the deadline.

FYI: the list of participants is not published in the websites because it contains personal data (names, addresses, e-mails) that was meant for the use of the organisators. In addition to the NGOs, all Member States of the EU and of the Council of Europe had sent one or more representatives (the costs of the one representative per country were covered). In addition, some international organisations, researchers and journalists attended the conference.

Yours,

Salla Saastamoinen

Dear Ms Saastamoinen,

The email I sent you last week was returned and I am wondering if your email address is still valid, if so I would be most grateful for a reply.

Kind regards

Dear Ms Saastamoinen

I heard your conference in Strasbourg was a success.  I would have liked to have come but was unable to.

I would be grateful if you could provide me with the following information:
  • the list of 10 NGO's originally invited to the Strasbourg Conference
  • the speech of Patrizia de Luca 
  • the EC study on adoption; I understand that during the conference it was said that this would be put online on the EC's website.
With kind regards

Rupert Wolfe Murray
