"People with disabilities account for a high percentage of EU society, but they often find themselves marginalised, experience difficulties in obtaining employment, and have limited opportunities to meet their basic needs. Many of them live on the poverty line, are discriminated against and excluded from participating in education and social life. The report on mobility and inclusion of people with disabilities, adopted today by the European Parliament, proposes numerous solutions which will help to draft more detailed measures aimed at improving the living conditions of disabled people. We should not, however, overlook two important issues: the need to involve those affected directly by decisions in the decision-making process, and the fact that in many cases, the solutions best suited to the needs of persons with disabilities can be found not within the EU institutions, but in the country where the person lives. Yet the report adopted today places a strong emphasis on creating new regulations at EU level, which furthermore are intended to cover not just disabled people, but much broader social groups. This is yet another reason why, despite the many good solutions proposed in the text, I have abstained from the vote."@en1
