Magdalena Vinent, IFRRO President made a statement on IFRRO’s behalf at the WIPO SCCR on 19 June 2011.
IFRRO acknowledged the efforts by the drafters of the document to reach a consensus solution regarding a WIPO instrument to enable effective access to copyright works by persons with reading impairment but proposed a few modifications to the draft text on a WIPO instrument.
These included the suggestion that the text should clearly link the instrument to the Berne Convention and in particular to its Article 9.2 and the 3 steps test, which needs to be maintained as the general basis for the establishment of an exception in national legislation.

The SCCR meeting from June 21-24, 2010 considered four  proposals aimed at creating an enabling legal environment for better access to copyright-protected works for reading impaired persons – one from Brazil, Ecuador and Paraguay and three others from the African Group, the US and the European Union. Despite lengthy negotiations, it was not possible for delegates to agree on wording for final conclusions.

IFRRO's position, in a statement to the meeting from CEO Olav Stokkmo, supported an instrument of the character of enabling legal environment as proposed by the EU, i.e. a joint recommendation, with content along the lines with what has been proposed by the EU and the US.
