lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his work overall and for drawing up the report which focuses on increasing the mobility of people with disabilities, by eliminating physical and social hindrances for the disabled when using public buildings and public services. I would like to draw attention to the fact that, in the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, we have decided to call on the Member States to approve the proposal for an anti-discrimination directive as soon as possible. The Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats calls on us to comply with the agreed compromise and vote for all the European Union Member States, the Presidency and the Commission to work as much as possible on the Anti-Discrimination Directive, which stalled a long time ago, and find possible solutions so that this directive moves forward, is adopted and enters into force throughout the European Union as soon as possible, because this would indeed greatly improve the situation facing disabled people. Secondly, although the report discusses employment for people with disabilities, there needs to be an even greater focus on guaranteeing education and vocational training opportunities and providing the required help for disabled people in the workplace. I would like to underline the fact that the high level of unemployment is the greatest obstacle to the inclusion of disabled people in society, and that unemployment among disabled people arises because of insufficient preparation for the labour market. Many schools and vocational training institutions lack trained specialists and suitable training programmes for disabled people and, in the end, training institutions are not physically adapted to the needs of disabled children and young people. Thus, the education system’s approach to disabled children and young people is still inadequate, and absence from school leads to significant social and employment disadvantages, and consequently poverty, particularly during the present economic crisis. The Member States, the Commission and the European Parliament must therefore work together to ensure that the lives of disabled people and their families really do change, not just in words but in deeds. Today, I am sad to say that I do not see representatives of the Presidency in the House."@en1
