The European Accessibility Act is now in force, making life easier for millions of people living with a disability or reduced mobility.

This means:

✔️ More accessible products and services across the EU
✔️ Easier access to transport, education, and job opportunities
✔️ Better prices through fairer competition
✔️ More jobs for accessibility experts

Together, we’re building a more inclusive Europe where accessibility is a reality, not an option.

@EUCommission ⚠️ PSA: Every European "Act" promoted via this unidirectional broadcast account now comes with a fine print "if daddy Donald allows it". 🍊 👑

@EUCommission
I am blind. And I work for a Dutch DSO. My org argued that since energy users are not "consumers" in the sense of the EAA, it isn't necessary for my publicly funded organization to make our presently inaccessible homepage accessible. Which means that I, a blind employee, cannot even access our own homepage to find out about grid outages. So thanks a lot, EC

@EUCommission The act has the *potential* to make life better. As the example in the US of 35 years of ADA have sadly shown, a law is only as good as its enforcement. #Ableism #Accessibility #Law
