"I voted in favour of the motion for a resolution. Ninety-five per cent of all published works, books and papers are never converted to an ‘accessible format’ such as Braille, large print or audio versions. This fact alone constitutes discrimination, discrimination which conflicts with the UN Charter on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, especially Articles 21 and 30, and with the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. What is even sadder is that our fellow citizens are not able to access valuable sources of knowledge on grounds of intellectual property. This resolution aims to support the treaty under consideration in terms of copyright on books and printed matter intended for blind and visually impaired people, in order to facilitate their access to such products as quickly as possible."@en1
