"Mr President, this week the Freedom Drivers return to Parliament. The Freedom Drivers are people with disabilities and high dependency needs, who want to enjoy the same freedom of movement that everyone else enjoys and that Europe represents. They come to ask for the kind of legislation that will allow them this freedom of movement.
They will explain the obstacles they face. Many of these obstacles are of our making and removing them should be a challenge for this Parliament, for the nations and the people we represent. My challenge to you, Commissioner, is that this is their third year visiting and little has changed. Yes, we have improved air passenger rights, but we have little else to say to them. When can we expect the long-awaited disability directive that will put real legislative weight behind equality for people with disabilities?"@en1
