Question 6990 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Agnès Carel draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Solidarity, Autonomy and Disabled People, responsible for disabled people, to the non-compliance with article 54 of the law of February 11, 2005 allowing guide or assistance dogs to be admitted in all places open to the public and in taxis and VTCs. This article is unfortunately not always respected and still too Often, blind or visually impaired people are refused access, for example to restaurants, shops or VTCs. Article R-241-23 of the penal code provides for a fine in the event of non-acceptance of these dogs in public places ranging from 48 euros to be paid within 15 days up to 450 euros, in the event of non-payment. But these fines are not sufficiently dissuasive since they do not prevent the refusal of access to public places and transport for disabled people with their blind guide dog. Also, she asks what she intends to put in place to effectively combat these refusals of access, in particular through more dissuasive fines but also through communication and awareness campaigns on the need for the blind or visually impaired to be accompanied at all times by their dog and to avoid these humiliations, referring to the different television surveys seen recently.
