lpv:translated text	"I would first like to thank Mrs Lynne for her report. It underlines the need to establish international legally-binding instruments to provide better protection of the rights of disabled people. This is an appropriate moment to point out that Member States are not making sufficient efforts to ensure that disabled people enjoy the same rights as non-disabled people. Essentially, what is at issue are the so-called access rights: rights to access a job, buildings, email and the Internet. These rights may exist on paper, but they are not a reality. Present European Union legislation on discrimination against disabled people only relates to employment. Discrimination, however, occurs in all areas of people’s daily lives. It follows that we must adopt a horizontal approach and integrate this factor into all political domains. The European Year of People with Disabilities is in full swing. It should mark the start of lasting change for our so-called invisible citizens. Its success will be measured in tangible results. These include increasing the public profile of disabled people and establishing more comprehensive measures to combat discrimination. We would like the Commission to enter into a firm undertaking in relation to disabled people."@en1
