lpv:translated text	"Within the European Union, 95% of all published works are not made accessible for the blind (Braille, audio format), mainly for reasons of copyright, an essential part of EU legislation. It is therefore important to remember that access to culture, education and participation in life and society are also rights that should be guaranteed to European citizens, whether they enjoy full visual capability or not. The World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO), a leader in this field, is already considering an international treaty to improve access to books for blind and visually impaired people. Europe is responding to this with caution, to say nothing of reluctance, issuing only non-binding recommendations. The resolution I supported in plenary urges the Council and the Commission to vote in favour of the draft legally binding WIPO treaty, which would bring major improvements to the lives of blind people of all ages."@en1
