Cyprus has also signed the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Article 9 sets forth the obligation of the country to ensure accessibility of the Internet. Once the convention is ratified, it is possible that there may be more legislation to address this. Best regards, Cynthia Waddell -------------------------------------------------- Cynthia D.

Hi Christophe, > Does anyone know anything about legislation regarding the accessibility of > websites (including intranets) in Cyprus? in the url http://www.springerlink.com/content/mvn71d4texw7a7rq/ you can find the publication: Website Content Accessibility of the Cyprus Domain with e-mailaddresses of the authors. Perhaps is it possible to ask information about accessibility legislation in the website of AKEL http://www.akel.org.cy the most important political party on Cyprus in this moment.
