".
I have voted in favour of this report in the knowledge that, in this European Year of People with Disabilities, a great deal needs to be done to eliminate the physical, technical and social barriers facing the disabled in their daily lives.
I would highlight the appropriateness of Mr Crowley’s initiative, and share his view that the disabled and the organisations representing them should be given the option of taking part in negotiations on these matters, as should their families and guardians.
Although I agree in principle with the report currently before us, I must express my unhappiness at the fact that, whilst going into considerable detail about the right to quality of life being the most important right pertaining to the disabled, the rapporteur implicitly devalues what really is the most fundamental right of all: the right to life itself.
Similarly, I deplore the report’s abuse of the word ‘charity’, which is reviled and taken out of context, ignoring its real theological and semantic meanings and replacing them with a populist cliché that is incorrect and unhelpful."@en1
