"This resolution advocates access to books and other printed products for blind and visually impaired people through copyright policy. Clearly, we voted in favour. We consider it crucial to put a stop to the social injustices and the increase in specific forms of discrimination to which these people are often subjected. We advocate guaranteeing their equal participation in economic, social, cultural and sporting life. However, it will only be possible to guarantee these rights if they are enshrined in an integrated way. The policies currently being implemented by the European Union – and backed by the majority in Parliament – jeopardise the most basic rights of various sectors of the population, including disabled people. If we want to defend disabled people’s rights, we must defend them in all areas of their lives, obviously, without forgetting, for example, that so-called austerity programmes are serving as a cover for pay cuts and for the closure of essential public services for these people, as is happening in Portugal, Greece and other countries, so threatening access to crucial public services, such as health, education and transport."@en1
