At today's EPSCO Council meeting in Luxembourg (19 October 2026), EU employment ministers are discussing implementation challenges for the European Disability Card and European Parking Card under an agenda item tabled by Italy, Finland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Slovakia. The five countries have raised concerns about QR code colour requirements and cross-border interoperability, arguing that technical specifications must ensure security and accessibility without imposing unnecessary production restrictions. The Directive (EU) 2024/2841, adopted in October 2024, requires all EU member states to transpose the law by 5 June 2027 and have cards operational by June 2028 — but as of June 2026, the European Disability Forum noted that no member state had yet published a draft transposition law, and only 9 had started consultations. The Council is also deliberating the upcoming Quality Jobs Act and conclusions on equality as a driver for economic growth, signalling disability employment remains high on the EU policy agenda.
The European Association for the Education of Adults (EAEA), in partnership with FORMA.Azione and organisations from Italy, Austria, Germany, and Bulgaria, has launched 'CAN – Valuing Neurodiversity', a new European initiative to mainstream neurodiversity-affirming practices in workplaces and education. Announced on 13 October 2026, CAN treats neurological differences — including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia — as natural variation to be respected rather than problems to be corrected. The initiative will develop practical tools for employers and educators, aiming to close the gap between awareness and action. This comes alongside a parallel EU-funded project, 'Unveiling Potentials,' launched by KMOP with partners from Portugal, Bulgaria, Italy, and Spain, which targets HR professionals who lack practical guidance on supporting autistic employees, especially those undiagnosed or choosing not to disclose. Together these initiatives represent growing EU-level infrastructure for neuroinclusive employment.
