lpv:translated text	"We recently met Irish members of the Centre for Independent Living who were in Strasbourg for the annual ‘Freedom Drive’. That same group directed the Members’ attention to the difficulties experienced by people with disabilities in the EU. One of the most significant difficulties mentioned was the obstacles to free movement, and this in a Union in which free movement is supposed to be a basic right for everyone. We voted in favour of this important report but more attention needs to be paid to the basic importance of mobile personal aid services to improve the free movement of people with disabilities. At present, personal aid services are not mobile and when someone with a disability moves to another Member State – for personal or professional reasons – this essential service is often not available to him or her immediately, and he or she must submit a new application to the new Member State without any certainty that the new service will be provided to him or her in the new country. It would be to the advantage of all the people of Europe and to the advantage of the principle of free movement if the Commission and the Member States together ensured that this service would be mobile."@en1
