Hello all Yesterday (30 of June), the Portuguese Parliament approved the Petition for the Accessibility of the Portuguese Internet as recommendation to the Government. Now, the Portuguese Government should adopt the necessary measures to guarantee full accessibility of government and public services web information. The Web Accessibility Initiate was mentioned in the parliament report. Next week we will prepare a press release and the English translation of the Portuguese Parliament position concerning web accessibility. We would like to thank you all for your wonderful work and in particular to the following friends: Cynthia D.
