As a public authority within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/2102, we are striving to make our website accessible in accordance with the provisions of the German Act on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities and the Ordinance on Accessible Information Technology (Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung, BITV 2.0) in order to implement Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

Status of compliance with requirements

The accessibility requirements arise from Section 3(1) to (4) and Section 4 of the BITV 2.0, which are based on Section 12d of the BGG.

The aspects listed below are not fully accessible:

• Some explanations in German sign language and plain language in accordance with Section 4 of the BITV 2.0 are still missing.
