Today, the EU institutions are holding the second negotiation round on the #EUDisabilityCard and Parking Card!

We renew our call for ambitious Cards that advance our freedom of movement!

Read our campaign page: edf-feph.org/eu-disability-…

🙌 We have a deal on the #EUDisabilityCard and #EUParkingCard ! Thanks European Parliament and EU Council.

The cards will ensure:
✅ easier recognition of disability status
✅ equal access to special conditions & preferential treatment across the EU

More ↓ #UnionOfEquality

Breaking: The #EUDisabilityCard was agreed!

The final text is a good improvement from the proposal and includes access to support for persons doing EU #Mobility Programmes!

We regret, however, the long deadlines until it becomes a reality.
