Implementation (Principle 17)
Description
a) What Member States and Social Partners can do
Member States are responsible for the transposition and enforcement of rules adopted at Union level. Those Member States which have ratified the UNCRPD are responsible for its full implementation in matters falling under their competence. The Union measures referred to above contain minimum standards and Member States are invited to go beyond these rules in order to give effect to the Principle, including taking positive action to ensure inclusion of people with disabilities on an equal basis with others. In doing so, Member States should closely consult with and actively involve persons with disabilities.
At Union level, social partners are to be consulted in accordance with Article 154 TFEU on possible initiatives based on Article 153 TFEU, and may sign agreements which may be implemented at Union level at their request in accordance with Article 155 TFEU. Social partners may also collect and exchange good practices across the Union. At national level, social partners may support the implementation of this Principle through their involvement in the design and implementation of relevant policies.
b) Recent and ongoing initiatives at EU level
The Commission continues to support negotiations for the adoption of the proposed European Accessibility Act(127) aimed at ensuring accessibility of certain products and services in the internal market, thus facilitating people with disabilities' employment and participation in society on an equal basis with others.
The Commission, as the focal point for the implementation of the UNCRPD at Union level, will continue to mainstream matters relating to disability in all relevant Union policies and legislation, including in all relevant areas of the European Pillar of Social Rights.
The Commission will also continue to support negotiations for the adoption by the Union legislature of its proposal for a Council Directive to expand protection against discrimination based on inter alia disability(128) to social protection, including social security and healthcare; education; social advantages; and access to goods and services which are available to the public, including housing.
