In May 2018, we took another step towards achieving greater accessibility by participating in the Transposition of the EU Digital Accessibility Directive into French law. Through this commitment, we have affirmed our willingness to support initiatives aimed at making digital accessible to all, including in the overseas territories.
- Quality digital accessibility
During this meeting, Laurent notre CTO took part in an information meeting on law enforcement with various digital accessibility stakeholders, several of whom were accompanied by the government. The discussion focused on the implications of this GAAR law, its impact on directors and the constraints associated with its rapid implementation.
During a working session, experts gave suggestions on the adaptation of the law and answered questions that naturally arise from the implementation of this project. As the only overseas company present, we represented the overseas and showed that techcessibility issues are also of concern to us in the DROM.
- Specific considerations
This approach allows us to show that we are able to support administrations in the implementation of digital accessibility. We have the same needs as other actors and certain specificities can be taken into account directly by the overseas players.
It is essential that all actors involved in digital take its accessibility into account in their projects. This is why it is necessary to organize more awareness campaigns on this subject and to pilot projects that include digital accessibility.
This is an important issue that must be shared by all digital players, including in the overseas territories. We are proud to have been able to participate in this meeting and to show that we are committed to quality digital access for all.
