The European Parliament has adopted the proposal for a directive on the European Disability Card. Later this year, the EU Council will cast its vote too. Since both legislative chambers agreed on a joint text in February, adoption is just a formality. ENIL has been involved in the discussions from the start and advocated for an ambitious Disability Card. Now it is time to evaluate.
Which advantages do the new Cards bring to disabled people? Will they make it easier to move between countries. What did ENIL achieve? To brief you on the new Disability Card and the Parking Card, ENIL invites you to a meeting on the 27th of June 2024, at 14:00 CEST on Zoom.
