EDF urges EU member states to not adopt a meaningless web accessibility directive
Brussels, 11 June 2015 | In view of the EU Ministers meeting in the Telecoms Council this Friday, the European Disability Forum wants to stress once again the importance of one of the items for discussion: the proposal for a Directive on the accessibility of public sector bodies’ websites.
