MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – European Accessibility Act and the built environment – E-001934/2025

Question for written answer  E-001934/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Lynn Boylan (The Left)

When the European Accessibility Act[1] enters into force in June 2025, the accessibility of the built environment will be outside its scope. Given the lack of harmonisation across the Member States in the design and implementation of the public environment, does the Commission plan to regulate for accessibility in the built environment, so that people with disabilities can fully access the outdoor public environment consistently, within and across the Member States?
