". The fight against discrimination suffered by people with disabilities has been stepped up at national and European level, and adopting the European Plan for people with disabilities was an essential step in this regard. People with disabilities are still, however, not accorded equal treatment and opportunities in all aspects of life. The gains that have been made must be consolidated by means of appropriate political and legislative policies. The European Plan must, accordingly, contain a directive against discrimination based on disability, which must be applicable to all policies that fall within the EU’s competences. All Member States must transpose all of the applicable legislation in this area and must develop channels for sharing good practice. I also endorse the report’s recommendation to improve disabled people’s accessibility to information technologies, to the built environment and to high quality services that encourage such people to be independent. I therefore voted in favour of this report, which underlines the importance of improving the situation of the 50 million citizens of the enlarged European Union that are affected."@en1
