Blind Delegate to WIPO for the negotiation of the Marrakesh Treaty.

After the amazement about the 'Miracle of Marrakesh' leading to the adoption
of the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons
Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled, the time has
come to turn to the treaty's implementation in national law. Policy makers
worldwide are groping for solutions to the practical questions that arise in
this context. Which implementation guidelines can be derived from the
international three-step test that features prominently in the treaty text?
How to preserve pre-exisiting limitations for disabled persons while adding
the specific use privileges guaranteed by the Marrakesh Treaty? How to deal
with different national concepts of beneficiary persons and special format
copies when it comes to the cross-border exchange of works in special
format? How to ensure the effectiveness of Marrakesh use privileges in case
of works protected through technological protection measure?

The talk will address these questions and propose solutions in the light of
the treaty text and its overarching objective to put an end to the book
famine that dramatically reduces access of persons with reading disabilities
worldwide. It will outline implementation options and open the debate on a
'truthful' implementation that can make a real difference for beneficiaries.
