"Mr President, at the EU-27 level, less than 5% of the published books are accessible to the blind and visually impaired individuals. Such people must have access to published books or printed material in Braille, audio or electronic format. The blind do not have adequate access to books written in Braille format either in bookshops or in libraries. Libraries must be equipped with terminals for the blind which should enable them to have adequate access to literary works in electronic format.
Most of these people are unemployed and therefore do not have an adequate income. That is why financial accessibility to literary works in Braille, electronic or audio format is extremely important. I support the creation of an online European catalogue of works available in accessible formats. I also support a legally binding treaty concerning copyright for books and materials published in electronic format for visually impaired people."@en1
