E-books
Finland will have a meeting next week with authorities and actors on the market for discussing E-book metadata. W3C draft publication published for E-books, Miia will update the information on Github for E-book metadata. Metadata for e-books is quite well established so it is not very aligned with demands from the EAA.
Sweden are waiting with E-books since the consitution conflicts with changes. They do need to comply with the requirements anyways since Finland and other countries have the demands in place.
Although audio books are not included, if you provide E-books you still need to comply. And if you sell services, products or subscriptions you are an e-commerce provider and need to be accessible.
SL said 10 hours per document to fix accessibility with a total of 11 million Swedish crowns. Was not accepted as disproportionate burden and they have been sanctioned with 300 000 SEK.
French minister of culture calculated already published e-books cost in the ballpark of 200 million euros.
Courts reduced the fine for Pajala Bostäder, the court seems to have misunderstood the law. Ended up being reduced to 25 000 SEK from 1 100 000 SEK (source). Court decision: 4351-24 Härnösands förvaltningsrätten.
