Abstract
Despite their key importance to the disability rights movement, European supranational legal regimes still offer only partial protections for disabled individuals who suffer discrimination when they are denied access to goods and services. This shortcoming has become particularly visible since the EU joined the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This article has two principal aims. First, it seeks to identify the extent to which access to goods and services for individuals with disabilities are currently protected pursuant to EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights. Second, it argues that the EU's Horizontal Directive Proposal is an effective and desirable means by which the European Union and its Member States can take steps to meet their accessibility obligations pursuant to Article 9 of the United Nation Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
