About 90 million people in the EU have a disability.
And many of them face hurdles when travelling or moving within Europe.
A fairer system is needed, and this is why we introduced:
💳 the European Disability Card: issued by national authorities, it will serve as recognised proof of disability throughout the EU – ensuring their owners get the treatment they are entitled to, whether it's on transport, in museums or at cultural events.
🚗 the Enhanced European Parking Card: replacing national parking cards, it will guarantee uniform parking rights across EU countries, giving their owners the freedom to move around independently.
Card holders would be able to travel across our Union and benefit from the same conditions, – accessing services and benefits in all the 27 EU countries.
It will be a step towards a more inclusive EU where everyone can exercise their rights.
