"Mr President, I, too, support Mr Kósa’s report. I believe that it is particularly important to mitigate the effects of the crisis and pay special attention to those who, in these times, have greater difficulties in terms of their social inclusion.
One of the priorities of the EU 2020 strategy is inclusive growth, and we, too, have responsibilities in this area. This requires people with various disabilities to be able to participate in education and employment and have access to various basic services and goods. Furthermore, we must create an environment that enables them to live independently.
The delegation from Freedom Drive visited us recently, and during discussions with the European Parliament, expressed these wishes and handed over their petition. An important element of this report is that it urges the Council to make real progress, within a set deadline, in adopting the horizontal Anti-Discrimination Directive, which provides equal access in all areas of life.
I would like to call attention to the issue of people living with psycho-social disabilities. Their interest representation is weaker than that of groups with other disabilities. They, too, must have a say in public affairs and must be supported in decision-making processes. The principle of ‘nothing about us without us’ must be implemented in respect of every issue, including in the course of EU resource allocations, and the principle of integration must also be applied."@en1
