"The EU recognises the importance of the participation of people with disabilities in the lives of their communities. The blind and the visually impaired, too, have a right to have access to books in a form in which they can comprehend their contents. I voted in favour of the adoption of a binding WIPO treaty to regulate copyright on books and printed products for these people. As a lawyer, I am aware of the unfortunate issue of there currently being no international legal norm concerning targeted exceptions applicable to copyrights related to the cross-border trade of printed products tailored to the needs of blind and visually impaired people. Additionally I, too, voted for the European Parliament’s 2011 report on unlocking the potential of cultural and creative industries, in which we already called upon the Commission to support the adoption of a binding WIPO treaty. While audio books provide a partial solution for people with disabilities, being able to read Braille books by themselves could offer them a far richer experience."@en1
