This communication describes the situation of disabled people, giving facts and figures and discussing the growing economic dimension; the achievements of the EU Disability Action Plan for 2006-07 (the Community and member states acting together, actions at EU level and development at national level); and priorities for 2008-09 (actions for inclusive partnership through accessibility, and actions towards full enjoyment of fundamental rights), concluding that it reflects the commitment to ensure disabled people are able to enjoy their rights, progress in the key policy areas identified requires maximising synergies and complementaries with members states' activities, and co-operation is crucial.
