National strategies and reports

Following the streamlining of the Open Method of Coordination on Social Protection and Social Inclusion, Member States are now charged with translating the common objectives into National Plans.

These plans, which cover a period of two years, are submitted to the Commission in the form of a National Report on Strategies for Social Protection and Social Inclusion. The key policy documents and the reports submitted by each country are available on the OMC website.

The EU Disability Action Plan

The Disability Action Plan priorities for 2008-2009 include a focus on accessibility and emphasise that ‘Accessible goods, services and infrastructures are essential to sustain non-discriminatory and inclusive forms of participation in many aspects of everyday life', and that ‘Achieving accessibility requires the avoidance and removal of barriers that prevent disabled people from exercising their capabilities and participating fully and on equal terms'. (p. 7)
