lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the new European Disability Strategy must be based entirely on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Through close cooperation with the rapporteur, we have been able to achieve this where the key points are concerned. Why is this so important to us? Firstly, only then can the EU meet its obligations under the UN Convention. Secondly, it means that our society has to change its perspective in favour of supporting human rights, because the UN Convention elevates inclusion into a basic principle of our lives together – and that is a good thing. People with disabilities do not bear the sole responsibility for adapting to the existing structures for people without disabilities; instead, the social structures need to change, so that they accommodate equally the wide variety of situations in which people find themselves in life, and thus also the reality of life for people with disabilities and people needing support. This applies to all phases of life – from attending ordinary nurseries and schools, through to participating in working life, and workplaces in which people with and without disabilities work together. It also applies to independent living, including in old age and where a person has considerable support needs. As the Commissioner has already mentioned, for an inclusive society, it is essential that every area of life is barrier-free. This applies not just to the built environment, but also to communication and the various kinds of mobility, and it includes linguistic barriers to access. The right of inclusion must extend to everyone, including people requiring particular support. That is why it is so important to us that this resolution states that special arrangements are transitional; something to be overcome. It is clear that we want support from the regulatory system. We want to change tack in this respect. To achieve all this, however, it is essential that there is a ban on discrimination. That is why it was so important to us that this resolution calls on the Council to finally break the deadlock on the fifth Anti-Discrimination Directive. I call on the German Government, which is blocking this completely for ideological reasons, to finally take its foot off the brake and allow us to prevent discrimination in every phase of life and give people their rights. For us – and I am appealing to the rapporteur here – it is crucial that this demand remains in the report. Otherwise, the report is worthless as far as we are concerned."@en1
