(2) The demand for accessible products and services is high and t. This is reflected in the high number of petitions received by the European Parliament wherein concerns are raised as to the accessibility of products and services, such as problems encountered by colour-blind persons. The number of citizens with disabilities and/or functional limitations will increase significantly with the ageing of the European Union’s population. An environment where products and services are more accessible allows for a more inclusive society and facilitates independent living.
