lpv:spoken text	"The freedom of movement on which this European Union is founded is daily denied to our continent's 37 million disabled citizens. There is no more important question in the campaign for comprehensive human rights for disabled people than the pursuit of accessible public transport. The directive finally agreed today, is a historic step forward in that campaign. It shows that the cost of access for industry is affordable, if only designed-for-all principles are included at the beginning. It shows that European regulation really can make a difference in enforcing rights for disabled people. Above all, it shows that eleven years of tireless campaigning by the disability movement, by Buses for All in my own country the UK, was absolutely worthwhile, necessary and ultimately victorious. Congratulations to all of you. I am proud that the European Parliament has helped deliver your demands."@en1
