"There are currently 80 million people living with a disability in Europe. Almost 70% of them are unemployed and 25% live in poverty. The European Union has a few aces up its sleeve to help these people and ensure greater equality of rights: raising more European funding, conducting widespread awareness campaigns, and compiling pan-European statistics in order to make public policies more effective. Above all, however, it is time to release the draft anti-discrimination directive, which has been blocked for over 10 years by Europe’s Heads of State or Government. I am pleased that my fellow MEPs have rallied behind us to ensure that the following message is heard loud and clear: the next stage in the fight for equal rights is an agreement between the EU Member States on this directive. Backed into a corner, the governments can no longer evade their responsibilities. We also call on the Commission to propose a major EU directive on accessibility for people with disabilities."@en1
