The policy survey

This identified ten factors that might influence web accessibility. These were combined into an index of engagement for analysis between eAccessibility and policy approaches across the Member States. This shows that general levels of policy engagement in this area are linked to improved results. The single most significant influencing factor was found to be the existence of legal incentives. Eight out of 25 Member States reached Limited Pass Level A (or at least Marginal Fail Level A) in at least 40% of public sector websites. These Member States tend to have a higher than average index of engagement.
