lpv:translated text	"Blind and visually impaired people are not recorded statistically in many European countries, which is why it is only possible to offer rough estimates regarding their number. Denmark, Finland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, Italy and the Netherlands all keep records of their blind and visually impaired population. The World Health Organisation (WHO) evaluated the surveys carried out in these countries. These figures indicated that the number of those suffering visual impairment in these countries has risen by 80%. It is assumed that the figures for the remaining EU Member States will be in line with this trend. The reason given for this is the ageing population. This makes it all the more important to afford people with visual impairment greater unrestricted access to literature, for example. To date, only 5% of published printed works are available in Braille, large print or audio formats. I voted in favour of the resolution because it is essential, in the context of the further education of the population, that people with visual impairment should also be afforded access to printed works."@en1
