Nogle af de sammenhænge er beskrevet i den fremragende Lynne-betænkning om Det Europæiske Handicapår, som skal drøftes senere, og i Nobilia-betænkningen, som anerkender de ældres eller handicappedes problemer ved udøvelse af f.eks. deres bevægelsesfrihed, da handicapydelser ikke er omfattet i samordningen af de sociale sikringssystemer.
Some of those links are picked up in the excellent report by Mrs Lynne which we will be debating later, concerning the European Year of Disabled People, and in Mr Nobilia's report which recognises the problems faced by elderly or disabled people in exercising, for example, their freedom of movement because disability benefits are not included in the coordination of social security systems.
