"Over 80 million people, or roughly 16% of the total population of the EU, live with a disability. The employment rate of disabled people in the EU is only 45%, and they are one of the groups most affected by the financial crisis. The austerity measures should not be used as a pretext for an unjustified cut to services offered to disabled people or projects aimed at enhancing their social inclusion. Thus, we must quickly reach an agreement on the proposal for a Council directive implementing the principle of equal treatment between persons irrespective of religion, belief, disability, age or sexual orientation. The Commission must reinforce the provisions taken with regard to combating discrimination and with regard to accessibility within the framework of the 2014-2020 cohesion policy. It should also put on the table a proposal for a European legislative act on accessibility, with firm and binding measures at European Union level to improve access to goods and services for disabled people."@en1
