On 14th March 2024, the EUD Policy Manager, Alexandre Bloxs, attended the crucial first
meeting of the Permanent Group on Disability Rights of the European Economic and Social
Committee. The meeting was titled “Potential and challenges of Assistive Technology and
Artificial Intelligence on the life of Persons with Disabilities.”
This meeting brought together leading experts, policymakers, and advocates to explore
innovative solutions and the transformative power of technology in ensuring accessibility
and inclusion for all. EUD ensured the perspective of deaf people and national sign language
users was not left out of the debate.
However, EUD deplore that no meaningful inputs could be brought due to the lack of onsite
International Sign interpreters, causing the impossibility for our Policy Manager to provide
his insights.
EUD remains committed to advocating for the rights and inclusion of deaf people across
Europe and is willing to maintain an open consultation with the EESC to ensure full inclusion
and accessibility of their events for deaf people. For more details on the event and EUD’s ongoing initiatives, visit our website.
