This report presents EASPD's views on: on the one hand, European policy-making as a whole, and more specifically, how to achieve the Europe 2020 targets. On the other hand, it presents EASPD's views on the essential challenges faced by service providers for persons with disabilities throughout Europe, with particular emphasis on employment, inclusive education and social affair. Finally, the report compiles national perspectives from EASPD members in Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, and Romania. Members have highlighted a number of essential policy changes they deem vital to the improvement in wellbeing of persons with disabilities. We hope this will elucidate practical solutions at both a European, and national level.
