"There are severe restrictions in the European Union on access to books and other printed products by blind and visually impaired people, since 95% of works published are not converted into ‘accessible formats’, such as Braille, large print or audio. No current international standards provide for exceptions to copyright in the cross-border dissemination of formats adapted for visually impaired people. The Copyright Committee of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) is drafting an international treaty intended to improve access to books by blind or visually impaired people. This motion for a resolution calls on the Council and the Commission to support the aforementioned WIPO treaty, which is intended to be binding. I am therefore voting for this motion for a resolution because I believe the measures therein will contribute decisively to combating discrimination against blind and visually impaired people."@en1
