Situation of Disabled Poeple in the Enlarged European Union: The European Action Plan 2006-2007
20/08/2005By The Commission of the European Communities
The Communication identifies priority objectives and actions for the second
phase (2006-2007) of the DAP, focusing on the active inclusion of people with disabilities.
Given the current demographic situation, the economic potential of disabled people and the
contribution they can make to economic and employment growth must be further activated on
the basis of the Social Agenda for 2005-20103. Moreover, in support of the refocused Lisbon
strategy, this Communication calls on Member States to promote inclusion of disabled people
in their forthcoming Reform Programmes for growth and jobs4. This Communication is also
the first EU report on the overall situation of disabled people which the Commission has
undertaken to publish biennially on the European Day of Disabled People5. It will be a tool
for disability policy-makers throughout Europe, complementing and adding value to their
policies and actions.
