Det glædede mig at høre, at det ikke blot er et spørgsmål om rettigheder og frem for alt frihed til handicappede. Ved at give millioner af bevægelseshæmmede passagerer mulighed for at bevæge sig frit i EU giver vi også disse mennesker mulighed for at bidrage til EU's vækst, da disse millioner af menneskers bevægelighed skaber velfærd, udvikler transportvirksomhederne og skaber mulighed for turisme alle mulige steder.
It is not simply, I was pleased to hear, a question of rights and above all freedoms for people with disabilities; giving millions of passengers with reduced mobility the opportunity to move around freely within the European Union also means allowing these people to contribute towards the EU's growth, since the movement of these millions of people brings welfare, develops transport companies and creates opportunities for tourism in all sorts of places.
