"FEJN qabel kienu jibbenefikaw minn sussidju dawk biss li għandhom blue badge, illum jibbenefikaw il-persuni b'diżabilità kollha, jiġifieri dawk li għandhom il-karta tal- Identità Speċjali (Karta s-Safra). Dan ifisser li fejn qabel setgħu jibbenefikaw 7,700 persuna, illum jistgħu jibbenefikaw 14,000 persuna". Dan qalu l-Ministru għat-Trasport u l-Infrastruttura Joe Mizzi flimkien mas-Segretarju Parlamentari għad-Drittijiet ta' Persuni b'Diżabilità u Anzjanità Attiva Justyne Caruana. Mizzi qal li l-għan tal- Gvern huwa li naslu biex ikollna servizz effiċjenti tat-trasport pubbliku li jaqdi sew il-bżonnijiet tan-nies, billi fost oħrajn jiżdied il-kilometraġġ biex ikopri aktar rotot, filwaqt li jitqies il-fatt li dan huwa servizz importanti ħafna għall-pajjiżna u li għandu dimensjoni soċjali. "F'kull opportunità ta' diskussjoni li kien hemm fix-xhur li għaddew bejn il-Gvern u l-operatur tat-trasport pubbliku, il-Gvern dejjem insista li t-trasport pubbliku huwa servizz soċjali u kemm huwa importanti li jintlaħaq bilanċ bejn l-aspett ekonomiku u dak soċjali biex ma tkunx ripetuta l-istorja negattiva tal-Arriva." Il-Ministru esprima wkoll is-sodisfazzjon tiegħu li s-sistema tal-cards qed tindara mill-pubbliku, u li llum qed jifhem ukoll il- vantaġġi li din fiha, kemm għat-tfal, kemm għall- anzjani u anke f 'dan il-każ, għall-persuni b'diżabilità. "Dan seħħ b'riżultat ta' diskussjonijiet serji ma' kull min juża s-servizz, kemm mal-Kunsilli Lokali, li jirrappreżentaw lill-pubbliku kif ukoll ma' għaqdiet differenti li jirrappreżentaw lil setturi differenti tas- soċjetà." Min-naħa tagħha s-Segretarju Parlamentari għad-Drittijiet ta' Persuni b'Diżabilità u Anzjanità Attiva Justyne Caruana qalet li din il-miżura kienet ilha tiġi mitluba minn persuni b'diżabilità u NGOs differenti minn meta t-trasport pubbliku ġie pprivatizzat. "Kellu jkun dan il-Gvern li ħa bis-serjetà t-talba ta' eluf ta' persuni b'Diżabilità li jużaw is-servizz tat-trasport pubbliku kuljum billi ġab flimkien il-partijiet kollha biex jiddiskutu l-kwistjoni u eventwalment wasal għall- ftehim mal-operatur tat- trasport pubbliku." Caruana qalet li llum il-Gvern qiegħed jelimina kompletament id- diskriminazzjoni li kienu jaffaċċjaw persuni b'diżabilità meta jużaw trasport pubbliku, fejn qabel ammont ta' persuni b'diżabilità kienu jibbenefikaw minn sussidju u oħrajn le. "Il-Gvern jibqa' impenjat biex ikompli jaħdem b'risq persuni b'diżabilità u din il-miżura hija parti minn sensiela ta' miżuri u proġetti b'risq persuni b'diżabilità li b'mod tanġibbli u konkret se jħallu impatt sostanzjali fuq il- kwalità tal-ħajja tal-persuni b'dizabilità kemm fejn tidħol l-inklużjoni kif ukoll fejn jidħol il-faqar. Dan għaliex dan it-tnaqqis fit-tariffa se jħallilhom iktar flus fil-but." Temmet tgħid li miżuri bħal dawn jgħinu persuni b'diżabilità jkunu kemm jista' jkun indipendenti u tgħinhom ukoll biex jintegraw aktar fis-soċjetà. 6 illum | Il-Ħadd 14 ta' Ġunju 2015 REQUEST FOR COMMERCIAL SPONSORSHIP 352326$/6,1&211(&7,21:,7+0$/7$·6 PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF THE EU 2017 REQUEST FOR COMMERCIAL SPONSORSHIP 352326$/6,1&211(&7,21:,7+0$/7$·6 PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL OF THE EU 2017 Catering and hospitality; Textile products; and Good quality gifts and mementos.
