Report on the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) by the European Union. The report covers the period from the entry into force of the CRPD for the EU in January 2011 to December 2013. Where relevant, it refers to previously adopted legislation and measures falling under the scope of the CRPD as well as to some key legislation proposed during the reporting period, and adopted in the first quarter of 2014. The European Union (EU) concluded the CRPD on 22 January 2011 in its capacity as a regional integration organisation within the meaning of Article 44 of the CRPD. The EU is currently composed of 28 Member States, of which all have signed the CRPD and 25 have ratified it as of the date of this report. Council Decision 2010/48/EC concerning the conclusion, by the European Community (now European Union), of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities contains in annex III a reservation with respect to Article 27 of the CRPD.
