Summary

In this opinion, the EESC will present its recommendations for the second half of the EU Disability Strategy 2021 -2030. Despite being a 10-year strategy, when it was launched in 2021, the Strategy included actions only for its first half until 2024, leaving the second half of the strategy vacant. It is therefore the moment to ensure that the second half of the EU Strategy on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is ambitious, and for the EESC to be able to shape what its actions will look like.
