Hungarian Presidency of the Council
On 25 June EPR attended a meeting where Galambos Katalin (Expert of the Ministry of Interior of Hungary) outlined the Presidency Priorities vis-a-vis disability policy work.
Notably, one of their outstated priorities is the social integration of persons with disabilities, paying particular attention to the key issues of employment and rehabilitation. Keep an eye out for an upcoming debate in the Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council (EPSCO) precisely on these matters, as well as on expected Council Conclusions.
On top of this, the Presidency has committed to strengthening access to quality services, focusing on territorial inequalities and the opportunities offered by the digital transition. EPR welcomes this direction with great enthusiasm, given our shared objective to promote the uptake of digital tools to improve service delivery of members, as was discussed at length in the recent Annual Conference.
