This edition of our magazine "Equal Voices" is devoted to the new Agency itself. The new Agency was inaugurated by European Commission President José Manuel Barroso, together with Austria's Federal Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer, on 1 March 2007. Equal Voices presents an overview of the keynote speeches at the launch ceremony. The magazine also features an interview with Terry Davis, Secretary General of the Council of Europe and a snapshot of views expressed by NGOs on the new Fundamental Rights Agency.
