Following the principal of non-discrimination, the Law of February 11th 2005 has created new advances regarding accessibility.

Rendering public establishments (new or renovated) to people with limited mobility was an obligation since the Law of 1991. The Law of Feburary 11th 2005 and its decrees have gone much further by guaranteeing accessibility to all people with disabilities.

In addition, architectural properties, interior and exterior housing equipment, whether publicly or privately owned, public establishments and work places must all be accessible to people with disabilities, no matter what the impairment. (physical, sensory, cognitive, mental, psychological, etc)
 

Existing public establishments must be equipped so all people with disabilities can easily access them, circulate within and receive information with as much independence as possible.

Access conditions must be the same for those with disabilities as for those non-disabled. For example, opening hours must be the same as those offered to the public, access to elevators and to toilets must be available, etc.
 

Ten years from the date of publication of the present law, all transport services must be accessible to people with disabilities and limited mobility.

All online public communication services for the government, regional groups and public establishments must be accessible to people with disabilities.
