Recital 2
(2) The demand for accessible products and services is high and 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 for persons with disabilities. Other persons, who also have any physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment, age related impairment, or other human body performance related causes, permanent or temporary which in interaction with various barriers result in their reduced access to products and services, leading to a situation that requires adaptation to their particular needs of those products and services, may also benefit from more accessible products and services.
