WELCOME TO THE  31st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE  OF  DATA PROTECTION AND
PRIVACY!

As the director of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), it is an
honour to invite  you  to participate,  in November 2009,  at the 31st
International Conference of Data Protection  and Privacy that will  be
held in Madrid.

The AEPD has always valued  this International Conference, the largest
forum dedicated  to  privacy in  the world,  which  every  year brings
together the   highest authorities and institutions  guaranteeing data
protection and  privacy, as well as experts   in the field  from every
continent.

Holding this Conference   therefore  seemed to us   the best   way  of
expressing this   special   valuation  and actively contributing    to
advancing in the development of privacy and data protection.

The challenge we   face as the organisers  of  the 31st  International
Conference is that of achieving  the approval of  a joint proposal  on 
"International Standards  for the Protection  of Privacy and Personal
Data", allowing  the development    of a universal,     binding legal
document, which must be backed by the most extensive institutional and
social  consensus   via the  participation    of  the authorities  and
institutions   guaranteeing   data   protection    and   privacy   and
representatives of both public and private entities and organisations.

Fortunately  there  were many cities  in   Spain that could have  been
chosen  for this Conference. Any  of   them would  have been an  ideal
scenario  for this event,   but we chose  Madrid  for several reasons,
among which are the  fact that  the  AEPD headquarters are  located in
Madrid, it is  easy for all  of  the participants to  travel here, and
there  is an excellent hotel,  culture and entertainment offer in this
city. I am sure that Madrid will be able to welcome all  of you as you
deserve and  that  it   has sufficient   appeal   to make  the    next
International Conference a special occasion.

We look forward to seeing you in November 2009 in Madrid!!!
