Four necessary actions points to ensure the best possible impact from the entry into force of the obligation to make digital books accessible.

The European Accessibility Act will enter into force on June 28, 2025. In France, the Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication (Arcom) has launched a public consultation to gather comments from interested parties though five open questions.

Our response is based on a four-point plan, where we address the key issues at stake:

• Staying up-to-date with the state of the art
• Taking accessibility into account throughout the supply chain
• Measuring adoption
• And promoting a progressive approach to accessibility efforts

We are publishing an English version of this response because these insights could also be helpful in other markets.
