"This motion for a resolution was tabled pursuant to Rule 115(5) of the Rules of Procedure, further to a question for oral answer by Mr Pescod, on behalf of the European Blind Union/Royal National Institute of Blind People, on access by blind people to books and other printed products, which is only 5% in the European Union. The reason for such a low rate is considered to be that copyright means there are no international legal standards allowing cross-border distribution. The Copyright Committee of the World Intellectual Property Organisation is working on an international treaty to solve this problem. Lack of access for these citizens constitutes marginalisation and negative discrimination that prevents them from accessing the culture to which they are entitled. I am voting for this resolution, since I welcome the measures proposed therein because I think it is crucial that they contribute to improving the quality of life of blind or visually impaired people, thereby preventing their marginalisation and facilitating access to cultural goods, whilst respecting international treaties and realising the Europe 2020 strategy."@en1
