European Parliament
Derek Vaughan  (S&D ),
in writing.
– Parliament’s call for an international binding treaty to allow blind and dyslexic people in the EU to access books has my strong support because the current voluntary agreement in place does not go far enough. Accessible formats like Braille, large print and audio should be readily available, according to this important resolution. The lack of publications available to blind and visually impaired people restricts the independence of these citizens and has a negative cultural and social impact throughout the EU.
