On 31 March 2022, the Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy submitted a proposal for a Product and Service Accessibility Act[1] (PSAA). The bill is intended to transpose Directive (EU) 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements for products and services (European Accessibility Act).[2] This Directive, and thus the bill, are intended to counter social exclusion and enable people with disabilities to live independently[3]. The new standards for product and service accessibility are also intended to help people with functional impairments, such as the elderly or pregnant women. Firms in the e-commerce sector will be among those affected by the legislative proposal.
