Entrée en vigueur de l’Acte européen sur l’accessibilité
30 juin 2019
L’AEA définit des exigences en matière d’accessibilité pour certains produits et services, notamment ceux fournissant un accès à des services et programmes de médias audiovisuels. Ce texte met notamment l’accent sur les infrastructures et les moyens permettant d’accéder au contenu audiovisuel.
En ce sens, l’AEA est complémentaire de la directive sur les services de médias audiovisuels (« directive SMA »), qui régit les caractéristiques d’accessibilité des contenus audiovisuels (comme le sous-titrage ou l’audiodescription).
Noel Curran, Directeur général de l’UER, déclare : « C’est une directive positive et inclusive. Elle répond aux objectifs de la politique de l’UER visant à faire en sorte que les programmes accessibles soient disponibles sur tous les appareils et interfaces pertinents, afin de permettre à tous les publics de les trouver facilement ».
