For the live performance, regardless of the fact that as a general principle we acknowledge the importance for all people to be able to access culture, this can only be realised when it is accompanied by a targeted policy and related funding to deploy a wide range of services for people with disabilities.
A European disability card could be a replacement of the EU parking card, with the same function, possibly extended to access of venues, whilst other non-binding EU legislative instruments could help to increase awareness and encourage member states to develop focused policies and investments in the area of culture.
If the EU considers a European disability card with a wide scope, then there should be first priority given to a policy framework and related investment and funding. It requires careful consultation with the live performance sector to deal with the challenges to provide access to performances for people with disabilities.
