Until November 13 2019, you can provide your feedback to the European Commission on the impact of the European disability strategy 2010-2020 on the lives of people on the autism spectrum, and/or with other disabilities.
The European Commission has opened a public consultation to know citizens’ and stakeholders’ opinion on the activities carried out by the EU since 2010 for the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at EU level, and for the better inclusion of persons with disabilities into society. These activities were carried out through a wide set of initiatives which are a part of the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020.
The information collected will be used to assess what has been achieved during the 2010-2020 period. It will also help the Commission to draw lessons on how to improve disability policy in the future, making it more effective and focused.
The consultation will end on 13 November 2019 (midnight Brussels time).
