Behalf of the European Union, of the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons who are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled

This procedure concerns the European Union's formal conclusion of the Marrakesh Treaty. The treaty aims to improve the availability of books and other published materials for people who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print disabled by creating an exception to standard copyright laws.

This affects publishers, libraries, and copyright holders by allowing the creation and cross-border exchange of accessible formats (such as Braille or audiobooks) without needing prior permission from the rights holder.
