lpv:translated text	"The petition is an essential democratic tool which allows every European citizen to speak directly to the politicians representing them and question them on issues that concern them. It is crucial to consider these concerns and respond. In this case, this petition reminded us of the lack of means available to enable the blind and visually impaired to access books. Their disability must not condemn them to accessing only 5% of works and publications, thus limiting their access to culture, education and opportunity. To this end, the World Intellectual Property Organisation’s draft international treaty to improve access to books for blind and other visually impaired people must be supported and ratified by the European Union. On an issue this important, affecting the rights of many European citizens, a legally binding standard is essential for a targeted exception to copyright rules for cross-border distribution of formats adapted for the visually impaired."@en1
