lpv:translated text	"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I am of the opinion that the current European legislation is of a high quality compared with the rest of the world. The adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is extremely important too. It is also clear that de-institutionalisation forms a part of all European strategies in this field, including those that are funded by our financial instruments. This transition is possible. There are countries that have done away with institutional care completely, to the benefit of disabled persons – there may be only a few of them but they do exist – and these prove that this goal can be achieved. On the other hand, it is a goal that has to be achieved gradually and in a very organic way because, as I have already said, de-institutionalisation that lacks corresponding safety provisions may conversely worsen the position of disabled people, as has been demonstrated in many countries around the world. I am thinking in particular of cases of de-institutionalisation in the United States where this route, in the absence of corresponding safety provisions, has proved to be very controversial."@en1
