Communications of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union adhere to the Charte d’accessibilité de la communication de l'État (Government Communications Accessibility Charter), which contains all the rules and best practices regarding accessible communication.
This charter provides clear and easily understandable information, taking into account the situations and the needs of the entire French population and is consistent with the Manifeste pour un État inclusif (Manifesto for an Inclusive State) adopted by the 2019 Interministerial Committee for Disability.
Concretely, as stated in the Sustainable Development Reference Framework, the French Presidency makes every effort to ensure that everyone can access the necessary information to understand its work in the EU over the next six months.
The europe2022.fr website is 76.47% compliant with the requirements of the French General Accessibility Improvement Framework (RGAA). The audit conducted in December 2021 shows that the site largely follows the accessibility rules, in particular concerning adaptations for persons with visual impairments, such as the systematic inclusion of alternative text for illustrations.
Particular consideration was also given to the accessibility of texts. As well as generally using simple and clear language as much as possible, easy-to-read versions of around 10 pages have been published on the website. These pages were prepared by specialists and proofread by members of the target audience to ensure that they are fit for purpose. These same texts were also provided in easy-to-read English and German for our international audience.
These pages include:
France in the European Union
The Presidency of the Council of the European Union
Event locations in France
European cultural programme
Sustainable Development Framework
Emblem and motto of the Presidency
The priorities of the Presidency
