INCREASING ACCESS TO WORKS FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED…
Michel Barnier, European Commissioner for the Internal Market and Services, presided on 14 September 2010. over the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on access to works for dyslexic or visually impaired readers. The Memorandum marks an important and concrete step aims to increase the number of books that visually impaired persons can enjoy for study or leisure. The agreement outlines a system whereby works in accessible formats, such as Braille and audio books, can be much more easily distributed across the EU Member States. It is hoped that noticeable increases in cross-border distribution will be possible within a year. More info in the official EC Press Release .
