The European Union of the Deaf (EUD) is a supraorganization comprising each respective National Association of the Deaf of the member states of the European Union. The EUD is a nonprofit organization founded in 1985 and is a Regional Co-operating Member of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), a full member of the European Disability Forum (EDF) and has a participatory status with the Council of Europe (CoE). Ten countries were present at this meeting. During the assembly of October 10, 1994, the delegates of the deaf associations in Europe voted for a change of name: ECRS was thus replaced by the European Union of the Deaf (EUD).
EUD's goals include equality for Deaf people in employment, education, and public as well as private life, and the right to use indigenous sign language.
Currently, the European Union of the Deaf has thirty full members and six affiliate members, with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
