"European institutions and the European Parliament (EP) itself have, in the past, focused their attention a number of times on the issue of people with disabilities. Within the framework of legislation, the EP has always tried to promote legal standards that ensure protection of the rights of disabled people. At present, preference should be given to long term investments benefiting the disabled, rather than short term, one-off expenditure. I personally believe it is essential to provide the disabled – regardless of their degree of disability – with help according to their needs. At the same time, however, the aim should be to try and create the conditions for individually-tailored assistance to be as little needed as possible in a truly barrier-free environment. Even though we talk about integration in the sense of integration into society, these people are already fully-fledged members of society. We must strive, however, for their integration through acceptance. Opportunities are equal if the same efforts lead to similar results. It may not be possible generally to apply a unified model for all states, as far as the possibilities for study, employment, freedom of movement or various other activities are concerned. The barriers facing the disabled vary in individual cases. Some Member States emphasise specific aspects more, and others less. One characteristic, however, should be common: the provision of adequate arrangements and guarantees relating to disability, helping towards a full existence within society."@en1
