European disability card - Call for evidence

The European disability card will facilitate free movement for people with disabilities in the EU. With the card, disability status recognised in one EU country should be recognised in others too, giving the holder access to preferential conditions for some services across the EU. This can be of particular relevance to people with disabilities in cross-border areas of the EU, many of which are rural.

It should build on the pilot EU disability card (covering culture, leisure, sport and transport) and apply to a wider range of services. It may also incorporate the EU parking card for people with disabilities.

A call for evidence from the European commission is open for feedback here, until 21st December. You can take this opportunity to relay your views on adapting the future card to rural specific needs.
