Maria Walsh says she's been leading efforts to ensure anti-discrimination is an EU priority.
The European Commission is reversing its decision to remove an EU equality law and reinstate it as a 2025 policy priority.
Midlands MEP Maria Walsh is the lead negotiator for the European People's Party on the Horizontal Anti-Discrimination Directive.
She believes the decision is a major step toward 'fairness and equity for all' across the EU.
The proposed law aims to ensure equal access to public spaces and services for vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities.
The Fine Gael rep says the move represents a step in the right direction by the Commission:
