To enable the blind and partially sighted people of Europe to join together to express their views and aspirations and take collective action, in accordance with democratically adopted decisions, to protect and promote their human, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights; to enhance their self-esteem and enable them to realise their full potential; and to represent their interests.

1.3 To provide a European forum for exchange of knowledge and experience in the field of blindness and partial sight.
1.4 To promote the prevention and cure of blindness and partial sight.
1.5 To strive for equal representation and participation of gender and age in its activities and in particular in the selection by National Members of delegations to the General Assembly, in elections to the Board and committees and in appointments to commissions, committees and working groups.
1.6 To co-operate with and support blind and partially sighted people and their organizations in countries outside Europe.
1.7 To seek to achieve equalisation of opportunities for all women and all men with disabilities, especially men and women who are blind or partially sighted, in all areas of life; to oppose and seek to eliminate discrimination against disabled people in all its forms; and to promote positive action to meet their needs whenever appropriate.Main EU files targeted
