Question for written answer E-002588/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Loucas Fourlas (PPE)
The autonomy of persons with disabilities is fundamental to social inclusion and equality. Nevertheless, many persons with disabilities continue to face daily barriers to accessing technological tools and services that could enhance their self-care and reduce their dependency on others. In several Member States there are delays in the provision of relevant allowances, poor awareness and/or a lack of harmonised strategies to facilitate the autonomy of persons with disabilities.
Given that independent living is an objective of the EU strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities 2021-2030, will the Commission say:
- 1.What measures does it intend to take to enhance persons with disabilities’ access to self-care technologies?
- 2.Is there any plan to create a European mechanism to co-finance or subsidise such solutions?
- 3.How is fair treatment and equal access for persons with severe disabilities guaranteed in the Member States?
