No wide-ranging changes are planned for older non-accessible documents which are still excepted from the Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

Please contact us if you have difficulties with specific documents. We will prepare the content upon request to make it accessible and subsequently replace the documents and/or provide accessible alternatives. In the case of new documents, we endeavour to prepare them in such a way that they are accessible according to WCAG 2.1 and conform to PDF/UA prior to publication. Non-accessible documents, such as printed versions, will be declared as such.

Content from third parties who are outside the sphere of influence of the Austrian Business Agency is excepted from the Directive (EU) 2016/2102. For such content from third parties, we cannot make any statements about its compatibility with the provisions on accessibility.

Enforcement procedure

If you are not satisfied with the answers you receive from the contact given above, you may complain to the Austrian Agency for the Promotion of Research (Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH – FFG). The FFG accepts complaints sent electronically via its contact form.

Contact form of the complaints body

Complaints are examined by the FFG to establish whether they refer to infringements against the provisions of the Web Accessibility Act (WZG), and particularly to deficits in adherence to the requirement for accessibility on the part of the Federal Government or one of its agencies.

If the complaint is justified, the FFG has to issue recommendations for action to the Federal Government or the agency in question and propose measures which would contribute towards eliminating the existing deficiencies.
