Uhm hasn't this been the case since 2019-2022 or somewhere close to those years?

In Denmark we had a year to make government/public apps fully accessible and the same for websites and documents presented on websites.

We also had to create accessibility certificates and dedicated pages on the websites to prove and clarify the state of the accessibility (or lack of, together with a statement of what's being done to remedy the issues).

Are these "new" EU laws for a different sector (private?) or something else? I can't find any references in the article. I may be blind (pun intended).

I do build websites for public sector in Denmark and we are only starting now with accessibility :( I don't know the actual law, but I would be surprised if multiple regions would just ignore them for this long.

And yes, these new laws seems to be aimed for private sector as well.
