80
million Europeans with disabilities need better access to websites and
mobile applications. To make it happen, on 18 July 2016 the Council
formally approved the public sector web accessibility directive agreed
with the European Parliament in May.
As
the EU population ages, the number of people with a disability or
age-related limitation is expected to increase to 120 million by 2020.
By making digital products and services accessible to all users,
the directive plays a crucial role in ensuring that all of us can fully
participate in the digital society and economy. This directive will
greatly simplify the accessibility and use of services by disadvantaged
people.
“We
consider as essential the establishment of technical standards, the
monitoring mechanism and the subsequent conformity check. I would like
to congratulate the Dutch presidency for bringing this important
initiative to a successful close,” said Slovak Deputy Prime Minister for
Investments and the Information Society Peter Pellegrini.
