"Almost 170 million EU citizens currently have difficulty accessing the 750[nbsp ]000 public sector websites across Europe that offer access to information and services. Whereas almost two-thirds of citizens have Internet access, only one third currently meet international web-accessibility standards, such as enabling the user to enlarge texts and images, underlining clickable links, making the website navigable with a key-board alone, or enriching videos with sign language, This proposed directive would require Member States to ensure that all public websites are fully accessible by 2015 for all new content and for all existing content by 2017 at the latest. I want to see this directive covering not just the 12 categories proposed by the Commission (e.g. social security, enrolment in higher education etc.) but also applying to websites provided by private entities that perform services of a general or public interest (e.g. electricity, heating, transport, health etc.). This proposal is in line with the UN Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, which has been ratified by almost all Member States. In our increasingly digital world, all public-orientated websites should be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities and the elderly."@en1
