Two years ago, the Support-EAM project compiled an overview of web
accessibility policies in the European Union:
<http://www.support-eam.org/Supporteam/Documentary/accessibility_policies.asp>;.
This does not cover the 10 countries that joined the EU on 1 May 2004
or non-EU member states (e.g. Switzerland and Norway).

The International Center for Disability Resources on the Internet
(ICDRI) also has links to legal and policiy resources at
<http://www.icdri.org/Global%20Legal%20Resources/global_legal_resources.htm>;.

Best regards,
