AccessibleEU Luxembourg - Accessibility: Good intentions are not enough (25-WS-LU-01)

The implementation of the European Accessibility Act has lead to the creation of the “Office for Surveillance of the Accessibility of Products and Services (OSAPS)” which will be officially presented at a press conference shortly before this event.

Together with the“Accessibility Unit” of the Ministry for Family Affairs, Solidarity, Living Together and Reception of Refugees (MFSVA), OSAPS will monitor the respect of the national accessibility legislation. Their missions include guidance, control and sanctioning in their respective fields of competence.

The aim of this workshop is to explain how users can benefit from the missions of OSAPS and MFSVA and how they can be actively involved in supporting the best possible implementation of accessibility at national level.

Details on the event:

  • Target audience: All persons dependent on good accessibility to allow them to fully participate in everyday life.
