The EDC is a 'descendant' of the proposal of the Belgian Disability Forum (BDF) for the development of a European disability card dating from 2009. The current Commission proposal therefore almost fully meets the requirements set at the time. Thus, the BDF and all the disability advisory councils in Belgium are very pleased to welcome the proposal!

What they argued
The Belgian Disability Forum (BDF) is the largest forum for associations representing persons with disabilities in Belgium. The BDF welcomes the fact that its proposal for a European Mobility Card from 2008 will finally become a reality with the presence of the European Disability Card (EDC) in all Member States.

The European Green Deal must take account of the importance of rail, including in its dimension of free movement of people. It must become a reality for every citizen, including disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility, without discrimination. Future investments under the European Green Deal need to take this into account.
