Despite our efforts, it is currently not possible to provide certain content in a fully accessible manner. This includes, in particular:
- Older PDF documents, office files, and videos published before the deadlines outlined in Directive (EU) 2016/2102. These documents and media may contain inadequate structuring, missing alternative texts, or lack accessible features such as subtitles or audio descriptions.
- Complex or older content that cannot be quickly adapted due to technical or resource limitations.
- Low colour contrast: An insufficient contrast between text and background impairs readability—especially for people with visual impairments. Under the WCAG guidelines the contrast ratio should be at least 4.5 : 1(or 3 : 1 for large-scale text). When text is placed on images, you must also provide an adequate background behind the text. Transparency, filters, or gradients are not considered when calculating the contrast ratio.
We are continuously working to address these barriers.
