eInclusion Topics
European Commission Disability Strategy Public websites fully accessible by 2015 Memorandum of Understanding on Digital Access for persons with
disabilites Evaluation of accessibility in all revisions of legislation Preparation of European Disability Act Enhancing digital literacy, skills and inclusion
eAccessibility Related to the introduction of standards, regulations and conformity

eAccessibility
Harmonised technical requirements across the EU, and ideally with other interested countries
Self declaration of compliance with requirements No product labelling requirement Support the use of Public Procurement policy to influence market
changes Technical accessibility requirements should be expressed in terms
of functional outcome rather than requiring specific implementations, in order to avoid limiting innovation and flexibility.
Standards should be objective, open, globally-harmonised, forward-looking, facilitate direct access to all technologies and accommodate technological advances.
Internet standards must fairly place responsibilities on all the interested parties including the Web developer, the browser, assistive technology manufacturers, end users, and government
Support of the global adoption of WCAG 2.0, or a mandate that is flexible enough to provide for the latest version approved by W3C/WAI
