Check against delivery of intercultural competences and of diversity management which definitely favours minority groups. In addition to a strong antidiscrimination policy based on equal opportunities, an effective regional and economic policy involving national minority members as well as members of the majority is needed in order to raise participation of national minorities in economic life. It is also important that civil society and in particular minority organisations participate actively in these programs and projects. There are many different ways to raise the participation of minorities in economic life but there is only one common goal: the promotion and protection of persons belonging to minorities and their integration into society. We are encouraged by examples from other countries to this end. Before I conclude, I would like to take this opportunity to express Austria’s sincere appreciation to the Independent Expert for organizing and guiding the deliberations of this important event. In 2011 we will evaluate and review its work. We all have to ensure that the Forum remains the excellent gathering in the field of minority issues as it has been over the last 3 years. The 20th anniversary of the Declaration in 2012 is providing an additional opportunity for further strengthening not only our Forum, but also the impact of its recommendations in our societies. Let me wish you all a good and constructive continuation of your deliberations and a good outcome of the meeting. Thank you very much.
