Poland-specific requirements
Poland's EAA transposition builds on the 2019 Digital Accessibility Act, which established requirements for public sector websites and apps. The Ministry of Digital Affairs has developed monitoring tools and published regular reports on public sector accessibility compliance. Poland's large domestic market (over 37 million people) and growing digital economy make EAA enforcement significant. UOKiK is an experienced enforcement body with a strong track record in consumer protection - its involvement signals that accessibility enforcement will be taken seriously. Poland also benefits from an active accessibility community, including the Fundacja Widzialni (Visible Foundation) which publishes annual reports on Polish website accessibility.
