European MS Platform
The European MS Platform (EMSP), together with MEP Ádám Kósa, Co-Chair of the Disability Intergroup in the European Parliament, is launching the Call to Action on Access to Employment for People with Multiple Sclerosis. Although all European countries have protective social legislation, in practice people with multiple sclerosis are often disregarded on the current job market, experiencing inequality and lack of opportunities.
The European Employment Pact for People with MS will break down barriers that people with multiple sclerosis face in the workplace and address the lack of access to employment.
