Texts written in easy-to-read language are unique with their short and clear sentences, which convey the most important information regarding a certain topic. Usually, such texts come along with images helping to understand the information.<\/p>\n

As of January 1, 2024, public authorities have been obliged to provide information in easy-to-read language, and following Directive 2019\/882\/EU of the European Parliament and the Council (the European Accessibility Act), the majority of Lithuanian companies will have to comply with this as of June 2025. The European Accessibility Act applies to\u00a0all businesses that offer digital products and services within the EU. <\/strong>Only companies with less than 10 employees will be exempted.<\/p>\n

Non-compliance can result in financial penalties, legal consequences, and reputational damage. However, accessibility is not just an obligation. It is a competitive advantage and an opportunity to reach more users.<\/p>\n

Statistically, easy-to-read language would help more than 15% of Lithuanians. That is 420,000 people.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”WHICH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES EILL NEED TO BE ADAPTED TO EASY-TO-READ LANGUAGE?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23111111|line_height:1.5em” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1737620413148{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”3″ css=”.vc_custom_1737620212613{margin-right: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;}” accent_color=”#b3110d” el_class=”sep-55″]
