"Parliament has, on various occasions, turned its attention to the situation of people with disabilities, recognising and safeguarding their rights. In line with the recent EU 2020 strategy, one of the most important objectives is increasing the employment level for the nearly 80 million people with disabilities living in the EU. Currently, their employment level is low throughout the EU, at 30-40%, compared with an ambitious target of 75%. According to Eurostat figures, the number of dependent people will double by 2050. From 2010 to 2050, the working-age population will decrease by some 50 million, whilst the proportion of people over 65 with disabilities will increase by 77%. Therefore, in the future, employment protection and safety at work will play an increasing role in the definition of national policies and strategies for people with disabilities in Member States.
The principle of freedom of movement is a fundamental citizens’ right. I agree with the rapporteur that the introduction of a unified European mobility card for reciprocal recognition of care for people with disabilities could make an important contribution in terms of protecting their rights."@en1
