"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I too should first of all like to thank Mrs Herranz García for the work she has done and for the commitment with which she has seen this report through to completion.
As regards its content, I think it is in everyone’s interest if I mention a few key points that characterise our work. Taking my cue from the report itself, my first point is that I think it is important, in our relationship with the Member States, to emphasise that the costs of disability must be borne by the community as a whole. The second point is that all the provisions, directives, projects and plans that are drawn up by the Community institutions must take account of the fact that some people in our countries have disabilities, and that they always constitute an important part of all the provisions that we must adopt. The third point is connected with the need to grant economic and social dignity to everyone involved in the care sector.
I am sure that in every country there is now a prevalent feeling that the right response to the problems of disability is to make the most of everyone’s residual abilities and to place them at the disposal of the whole community. That is the best solution for the differently able and also for all of us.
We work so that our countries can achieve higher and higher rates of economic growth and development, because we believe that only a culturally and economically rich community can provide the solutions that these worlds expect."@en1
