"People with disabilities represent a large percentage of society in the European Union, but they frequently encounter marginalisation, difficulties in finding work and restricted opportunities to meet their basic needs. Many of them live on the poverty line, suffer discrimination and are excluded from participating in education and society. In the report adopted by the European Parliament today on mobility and inclusion of people with disabilities, many measures have been proposed which will contribute to the development of more specific measures intended to improve the situation in which disabled people live. We must not, however, forget two important matters: the necessity of including disabled people themselves in the process of making decisions which directly affect them and the fact that in many cases, it is actually at the level of Member States and not the level of EU institutions that solutions can be found which are best adapted to the needs of disabled people living in those Member States. However, the report which has been adopted today lays great emphasis on creating new legislation at EU level, and this legislation is also to move away from the matter of disabled people themselves and be applied to much broader social groups. Therefore, despite the many good measures which have been included in the report, I abstained from voting."@en1
