"Considering the impact of an ageing European population alone, the number of so-called ‘dependant’ people is liable to double between now and 2050, according to Eurostat forecasts. The Kósa report voted on this afternoon therefore highlights the need to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities. More than anything, this is a matter of human rights, of respect for people who are doubly disadvantaged, firstly by their disability, and secondly by the too numerous obstacles that they face on a daily basis. Disabled people, being more vulnerable, face physical difficulties (such as restricted access to goods and services, and to public transport) as well as social problems (such as minimal employment opportunities and limited access to communication tools).
The adoption of this report helps establish a number of objectives to be met by Member States in terms of equal opportunities. They include increasing disabled people’s rate of employment, mobility and participation in public life. The creation of a European mobility card for providing uniform care to people with disabilities or access to services and communication tools for the visually impaired or the hard of hearing would be a significant step forward in this regard."@en1
