Tilgængelighedsdirektivet betragtning 11

English language version pr. 2026-10-06 tier 3 Direktiv (EU) 2019/882, CELEX 32019L0882

The overall aim of the communication of the Commission of 6 May 2015‘A Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe’, is to deliver sustainable economic and social benefits from a connected digital single market, thereby facilitating trade and promoting employment within the Union. Union consumers still do not enjoy the full benefits of prices and choice that the single market can offer, because cross-border online transactions are still very limited. Fragmentation also limits demand for cross-border e-commerce transactions. There is also a need for concerted action to ensure that electronic content, electronic communications services and access to audiovisual media services are fully available to persons with disabilities. It is therefore necessary to harmonise accessibility requirements across the digital single market and to ensure that all Union citizens, regardless of their abilities, can enjoy its benefits.
