Madam President, I would like to ask a general question. If, in accordance with the rule of law, the disabled are quite rightly obliged to respect the law like all other citizens – they can be sent to prison, for example – why do the principles of equal participation not apply to the job market? Why are disabled people not given the full opportunity to make use of their qualifications? Why can modern democracies not meet the standards expected of civilised societies in this matter?
