"I am strongly in favour of increased long-term investment and support for people with disabilities, as it is imperative that they are provided with the necessary means to enjoy equal rights, equal treatment and full participation in education, employment, social life and public life, in particular, in relation to the right to vote.
Parliament has adopted significant decisions for the recognition and protection of the rights of people with disabilities, calling for legal standards and legislation at EU level. However, it is important that the new generation of human rights of people with disabilities be upheld through active and targeted policies ensuring the practical application of all human rights and guaranteeing equal opportunities and full access to services and products.
One of the most important objectives is to improve the level of employment among the almost 80 million people with disabilities who live in the EU. An increased rate of poverty results in limited access to employment, training, health care and appropriate treatment, so disability benefits must therefore be guaranteed to those in need. States must develop national policies and strategies on disability, in harmony with the European Disability Strategy (EDS), while, at the same time, introducing detailed deadlines and mechanisms for the implementation of the EDS, particularly with regard to strengthening the role of Parliament."@en1
