The Commission says that the aim of the consultation is to
gather data and stakeholder views to support the evaluation of the
Web Accessibility Directive and its implementing acts.
The consultation will help assess to what extent the Directive
and its implementing acts:
- have made it easier for people with disabilities to access
public services and information, strengthening social and digital
inclusion;
- are still relevant and fit for purpose, in light of related
laws and changes in technology; and
- have harmonised the web-accessibility market.
The results of the consultation will also inform possible future
policy initiatives related to web accessibility.
The consultation closes on 25 October 2021. To access the
