"As shadow rapporteur for the opinion of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs I, too, contributed to the report of Mr Fisas Ayxela. I am particularly pleased to see that there is a marked emphasis in the report on sport for people with disabilities, in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which was ratified by the EU.
I call on the Commission to do everything possible within the framework of the Treaty of Lisbon to develop and support sport for people with disabilities. I would like to take the opportunity to point out that the Deaflympics, the Olympic movement of the deaf, has been suffering from a lack of funding by the EU and its Member States for years; in 2010 Slovakia cancelled the Winter Deaflympics, while Greece withdrew from hosting it in 2013.
Now there are efforts in Hungary to make the organisation of a limited Deaflympics possible. With this neglect we are severely endangering the futures of thousands of professional deaf sportspeople. This is unacceptable and something must be done about it."@en1
