Drops a call for a directive on minimum income and adds a requirement for EU institutions to follow Ombudsman recommendations. Adds emphasis on enforcing accessibility standards in the built environment, referencing a specific standard. Softens the demand for a specific budget amount for the Child Guarantee, replacing it with a call for a substantial dedicated allocation. Adds provisions on using petitions to monitor disability rights and calls for annual reports on disability-focused petitions. The other changes are formal: decimal commas replace decimal points in statistics.

AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

The report expands significantly, adding many new paragraphs on employment, accessibility, healthcare, housing, and violence against women with disabilities. It calls for a new strategy without delay, with binding measures, measurable targets, and new flagship initiatives. It strengthens calls for deinstitutionalisation, community-based services, and support for families and carers. It adds provisions on external action, humanitarian aid, and preparedness for emergencies. The other changes are formal: updated terminology and a new motion for a resolution.
