I remember Annika Pabsch from the EUD telling me about a project they were embarking on that studied the legal status of signed languages around the world to influence European law. I'm not sure where they are with their project, and I don't have an email address for Annika, but you could fill our their contact form at <a href="http://www.eud.eu/Contact-i-157.html" target="_blank">http://www.eud.eu/Contact-i-157.html</a> to get in touch with them.<br>
