".
We have had no hesitation in voting for this document in view of the manifest urgency, both in Europe and worldwide, of developing a policy of non-discrimination towards persons with disabilities, a proactive policy reaffirming their rights to employment, education, and to all that makes up social life, including sexuality.
It has to be emphasised, though, that such a concern is largely at odds with current trends in the European Union and in the principal international economic organisations. In real terms, these trends favour the dismantling of the public services, their privatisation and reductions in social protection and social budgets. The integration of people with disabilities into society, including into the world of work, is required by a solidarity which it is difficult to reconcile with the profit motive.
The commitment to leave behind the separated structures, which only very inadequately prepare people with disabilities for integration and independence, in order to enable them to participate fully in society and to combat prejudice, has its price. The fight against prejudice inevitably brings us up against the rapacity of private interests, masked by the high level of competitiveness which is, to currently prevalent thinking, the be-all and end-all."@en1
