Alexander Mirsky  (S&D ),
in writing.
– Nowadays, there is a growing trend to concentrate on our personal problems without thinking about others. However, there are people who are limited in their capabilities due to some strokes of fate. Our duty is not only to accept them but to do our best to make them feel fully-fledged members of our society. By facilitating access to books for the blind, we are taking the right path towards this aim. The blind should be protected and assisted by internationally binding laws and treaties; their access to books and other printed product should be facilitated to the maximum extent possible.
