"Mr President, one of the hallmarks of an open and inclusive democratic society is that it treats all citizens equally, and particularly those with disabilities. In that regard, the European Union and Member States have made a lot of progress. Indeed, in relation to the European Union, there is a blind friend of mine up in the booth here who has a job as an interpreter and is doing a very good job indeed.
At the same time, we cannot be complacent. There is room for major improvement, particularly in certain areas. Where the visually impaired are concerned, their not having access to 95% of published books is simply a figure that we cannot be pleased with. We certainly need to do all we can to increase accessibility to books for blind people. This is a step in the right direction. We really have to work harder to ensure that all people have access to all books."@en1
