"I congratulate my French Conservative colleague, Mme Hermange, on her imaginative and constructive report. Conservatives in the UK have voted in favour.
Member States need to be much more proactive in recognising the special needs of the disabled, and we hope that they will very much take on board the thrust as well as some of the specific ideas in this report. However, we urge that the report must not be used as a lever to try and harmonise social security benefits across the EU: this has to remain a Member State competence.
We particularly applaud two firsts today – the appearance of the report in Braille in three languages, and the use of sign language in the debate. The EPP/ED Group is not just talking about the needs of the disabled: we are actually doing something positive about it."@en1
