People with disabilities: EC parking card

In adopting the report by Mr Thomas MEGAHY (PSE, UK) Parliament was in favour of the introduction of a European parking card for disabled persons, able to be used throughout the territory of the Union. It would not be a substitute for existing national and regional cards but would be used in parallel. Parliament requested that the vehicle registration number and the date of birth and address of the holder should not appear on the card. The reverse of the card should, however, carry the name and family name, signature or other authorized mark and photograph of the holder. The card should be displayed in the front of the vehicle in such a way that only the front of the card is clearly visible for checking purposes. �
