The official countdown for the European Disability Card has commenced following the publication of guidelines in the EU Official Journal. Member states now have up to 30 months to align their national laws and 42 months to establish the necessary systems to begin issuing cards. This initiative aims to ensure the European Disability Card becomes a reality across EU countries by May 14, 2028. The European Disability Forum urges nations to prioritize robust national legislation while advocating for further reforms to secure full mobility rights for people with disabilities throughout the EU.
