"In the European Union, blind or visually impaired people have severely restricted access to books and other printed products, since over 95% of all published works are never converted to ‘accessible formats’. In the absence of international legal standards for a targeted exception to copyright rules for cross-border distribution of formats adapted for print-disabled persons, the Copyright Committee of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) is considering an international treaty to improve access for people with this disability.
Up to now, no legally binding text has been adopted at European level, whilst non-binding recommendations have been favoured. As a result, I welcome Parliament’s call to the Council of the European Union and the European Commission to support a binding WIPO treaty with regard to the copyright on books and printed products for blind and visually impaired people."@en1
