The conference took place from 28 to 29 November in Brussels. It focused on the need for and possible content of a new European Disability Strategy 2020-2030.
FRA, which forms part of the EU’s monitoring framework on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which the EU is a party, noted the importance of robust, disaggregated data as a basis to measure progress on indicators for implementation of any new Strategy.
The new Strategy is expected to be presented by the Commission in the course of 2020.
