lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour because blind and visually impaired people in the EU have very limited access to books and other printed matter, with 95% of all published works never being converted into appropriate formats, such as Braille, large print or audio. There is, at present, no international legal standard for a targeted exception to copyright rules for cross-border distribution of formats adapted for print-disabled persons. The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) is considering an international treaty to improve access to books for blind and visually impaired people. EU representatives have consistently opposed a legally binding text, giving priority to non-binding recommendations. In its report on ‘Unlocking the potential of the cultural and creative industries’, the European Parliament called on the EU to draw up a binding WIPO treaty. The UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, in particular, Articles 21 and 30, and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights establish the principles applicable to the prohibition of discrimination against persons with disabilities. The Council and Commission are encouraged, therefore, to support a binding WIPO treaty on books and printed matter for blind and partially sighted people."@en1
