European Parliament
Nuno Melo  (PPE ),
in writing.
(PT)
I voted for this European Parliament resolution on access by blind people to books and other printed products. In fact, globally, there is, at present, no international legal standard for a targeted exception to copyright rules for cross-border distribution of formats adapted for print-disabled persons. This constitutes unacceptable exclusion and social discrimination, in breach of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, in particular, Articles 21 and 30, and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.
