lpv:spoken text	"The Employment Equality Directive is a landmark piece of European legislation, which sets out equality at the workplace and prohibits discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, age, religious belief or disability. This is a prime example of the EU working to create social justice and a level playing field of high employment standards across Europe. This is the kind of progressive legislation which Leave campaigners would like to scrap. Labour MEPs will continue to fight so that UK citizens will retain the rights and protections the EU provides, regardless of the disastrous referendum outcome. As a champion for the rights of people with disabilities and a member of the Disability Rights Intergroup in the European Parliament, I was happy to vote in favour of this report which calls for a comprehensive approach on combating discrimination in employment and occupation. We urgently need to adapt workplaces and to provide assistance, education and training for people with disabilities. In the UK in 2015, only 48% of people with disabilities were in employment."@en1
