ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a case study on the European disability card. The European Union (EU) disability card, a project launched in February 2016, aims to bring the Member States closer together regarding the rights of people that have a disability. By setting up a system of mutual recognition, the EU Disability Card ensures equal access to specific benefits, mainly in the areas of culture, leisure, sports and transport. The involvement of experts by experience first of all helps countries to better identify appropriate eligibility criteria for distributing the EU Disability Card. In accordance with EU law, Member States retain their discretion to decide who is eligible to receive the Card, using the national definition of disability, and to determine the issuing procedure. The rapidly growing co-production surrounding the European Disability Card could increase the EU-wide standards for benefits to people with disabilities thereby creating a practise of inclusion.
