Finland
While Finland has little in the way of direct eAccessibility legislation, there appears to be a basis in the anti-discrimination section of the constitution and in antidiscrimination legislation on employment for developing eAccessibility measures. Finland’s national action programme ‘Towards Barrier Free Communication’ encompasses initiatives in a range of sectors including broadcasting, telecommunications and websites. In terms of actual levels of accessibility achieved to date, Finland is at about the European average.
