The SignStorm statement emphasizes that the ECI is also a message for EU member state governments and therefore each signature counts. | Prague meeting debates Recordings of the presentations and discussions with Angelina Kussy, Karl Widerquist, Helena Norberg-Hodge, and Gabriela Cabaña from Prague can be viewed on the UBIE website, alongside of a selection of photos from the meeting.
