IFLA Europe General Assembly Berlin 21-22 September 2013 Title: President’s Report Purpose: To inform the General Assembly (GA) of the progress made towards the aims, objectives and aspirations of the approved Strategic Plan and associated Action Plan. Executive Council: The Executive Council (ExCo) continues to work effectively, efficiently and productively on behalf of the Federation and its members. Each of the officers has, as usual, produced their own very specific report and, although that information will not be duplicated here, I believe that as this is my final year in office, I owe it to everyone to comment on the work that has been carried out over the past four years. Obviously, much of the work is ongoing.
