"Madam President, in ratifying the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the 27 Member States have committed to equal rights, equal treatment and equal opportunities, thereby ensuring that these citizens can participate fully in society. However, as we have seen, this does not apply to everyone. Around 30 million blind people living in Europe face huge difficulties in everyday activities, such as shopping, because they have to rely on other people to tell them what is inside the packaging.
I should therefore like to call on the Commission to open broad consultation with interested bodies on the adoption of a voluntary product labelling system in Braille and, at the same time, to call on my fellow Members here to support it by signing written statement 14."@en1
