lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin by congratulating Mr Kósa on his excellent work. I am absolutely sure that we have all worked well, but I am also absolutely sure that we really need to change our approach. Even though so much has been written and given that there are so many regulations and laws at national and supranational levels, as well as agreements and treaties, the fact is that not enough has been done for this extremely numerous group of disadvantaged people. The figure of 80 million Europeans – about 16% of the people of Europe – with disabilities is one that we have often heard quoted. These people need assurances and guarantees of equal opportunities in all respects. We must also bear in mind that the demographic changes that we are always talking about mean that this figure is likely to double by 2050. This huge group of people not only need help, but they also need to be placed in a position in which they have equal opportunities, equal access and the same rights as any other EU citizen. Today, we have the technology to really provide these people with the means and tools to become full citizens in every respect. I am thinking, for example, of the battle we have had in Italy to achieve something very simple – subtitling for television programmes – though as an Italian, I am ashamed to say we have had little success so far. Just think, for example, when there are election campaigns, which are now conducted entirely through the media, people with hearing impediments find it difficult to keep well enough informed so as to duly exercise their fundamental democratic right to vote."@en1
