      title = {The Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published  Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or  Otherwise Print Disabled in the European Union : Reflecting  on Its Implementation and Gauging Its Impact from a  Disability Perspective.},
      abstract = {The Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published  Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or  Otherwise Print Disabled (Marrakesh Treaty) requires State  Parties to introduce limitations and exceptions to national  copyright rules in order to allow the reproduction,  distribution and making available of published works in  formats that are accessible to persons who are blind,  visually impaired or otherwise print disabled. This Treaty  was concluded by the European Union (EU) on behalf of its  Member States in 2018. It was then implemented by means of  a Directive and a Regulation. On the tenth anniversary of  its adoption, and six years after the enactment of the EU  implementing acts, this article reflects on the  implementation of the Marrakesh Treaty in the EU,  highlighting its strengths and shortcomings. It then  discusses, from a disability perspective, the impact of the  Marrakesh Treaty within Europe on foot of a multimethod  empirical study conducted within the project ReCreating  Europe. On the whole, this article argues that, in spite of  some weaknesses of the Marrakesh Directive, which leaves  room for differences across the Member States, the  ratification of the Marrakesh Treaty by the EU has  supported access to printed materials for people with  disabilities.},
