We have been advocating for this for a long time. It is therefore very important that for all kinds of target audiences who are subject to a restriction – a visual restriction or other disability which prevents them from accessing information by electronic means –, both by the present obligation within the sphere of the government but also within a fairly wide perimeter – we have been able to introduce it through an amendment also for the public undertakings – all websites must be made accessible to them.
We have worked a lot around the AnySurferLabel or the BlindSurferLabel. According to the latest standards, they will have to unlock the websites in the future. They will have to do the same for mobile applications.
This means a real help for people with disabilities. We are very pleased that the Government and Parliament have been able to work together.
