ALT Banner with the following text: What aspects of that proposal do we welcome? (2/2) 1. The EU Disability Card will be available in both a physical and a digital version. 2. The EU Disability Card and the EU Parking Card will be two completely separate cards.
ALT Banner with the following text: What aspects are missing in the proposal? 1. Legislative approach: Adopting the proposal as a Directive instead of a Regulation could lead to inconsistent implementation among Member States. 2. Insufficient measures to guarantee that persons with disabilities can live and work in another EU country on an equal basis with other citizens.

The EU Disability Card will ease the daily lives visiting another country (...) We call on the European Parliament to strengthen the Card so it can be a tool to facilitate our rights to live and work anywhere in the EU (...). "
