On March 30, 2007 the European Community signed the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which entered into force for the EU on January 22, 2011.
UNCRPD recognises that disability is an evolving concept: “Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.”
