Official documents and detailed summaries on key policy areas

This section of the website will be developed to include direct access to the most relevant official documents and analytical summaries on key policy areas. This will include ‘disability targeted legislation' (of which there is relatively little at the European level), non-discrimination legislation and non-specific (mainstream) legislation, where disability may be included.

During this development period, the following temporary links provide some examples of primary and secondary legislation with reference to disability (although not all are directly relevant to the disability equality agenda):

General, financial and institutional matters

Customs Union and free movement of goods

Freedom of movement for workers and social policy

Right of establishment and freedom to provide services

Transport policy

Competition policy

Taxation

Economic and monetary policy and free movement of capital

External relations

Energy

Industrial policy and internal market

Regional policy and coordination of structural instruments

Environment, consumers and health protection

Science, information, education and culture

Some additional policy background and history is also provided on the DG Employment and Social Affairs disability website.
