Starting June 28, Romania adopts the European Accessibility Directive, imposing accessibility standards for digital services, including in the private sector

The European Accessibility Directive, implemented in Romania, covers both the public sector and private companies, with the aim of facilitating access to digital services for people with disabilities. It applies to all entities except micro-enterprises and provides for fines for non-compliance. Businesses must conduct accessibility audits, remedy critical issues and publish accessibility statements. Meeting these standards brings benefits, including an enhanced reputation and access to EU funding.
