"Madam President, I believe that disabled people with reduced mobility in the European Union — this being something that we will all experience sooner or later — have been extremely lucky to have a Labour rapporteur, Robert Evans, and a British Presidency of the Council which, in a laborious — not to say labour — fashion, have been able to invite them on board without discrimination and with guaranteed facilities.
In close cooperation with the Commission, which, we must acknowledge, is doing exemplary work in terms of facilitating access for disabled people to all forms of transport — they have already done so in the case of trains, now aircraft, and tomorrow buses — have succeeded in drawing up rigorous legislation, which is demanding but applicable, and suited to the new circumstances of the airports and companies.
To put an end to all kinds of discrimination and to propose legislation that shows solidarity will move us further in the direction of a more social, accessible and democratic Europe.
We in the European Parliament recently received a group of visitors made up of blind and disabled people, belonging to ONCE, the largest Spanish organisation in this field, which acknowledged not just that their opinions had made an active contribution, but that this experience had convinced them that the European Parliament and the European Union are working seriously for the citizens."@en1
