Annotation	It is intrinsic to the spirit and to the letter of European Union (EU) legislation that accessibility to electronic communication networks is available to all, and the EU has produced a set of Directives accordingly. This publication aims to show how, with powers devolved from the EU to national regulators, problems of accessibility to telecommunications can be overcome. It outlines the current legislative framework for electronic communications; scope for regulatory measures; and outcomes such as inclusive design. COST219 is supported by the EU Framework Programme.
