Marrakesh Treaty on access to published works for blind and visually impaired persons - Council authorises ratification

The Council today adopted a decision approving the conclusion of the Marrakesh Treaty to facilitate access to published works for persons who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise print disabled.

The Marrakesh Treaty establishes a set of international rules which ensure that there are limitations or exceptions to copyright rules for the benefit of people who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise print‑disabled.

It also enables the cross‑border exchange of copies of published works that have been produced in an accessible format.
