Non-accessible content

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the Data.europa.eu website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for the Data.europa.eu website:

  1. Some buttons and elements can not be accessed (reached) using keyboard only.
  2. Some ARIA attributes are used inappropriately, which may result in not correct screen reader presentation
  3. Some screen readers will not be able to read buttons or inputs correctly as they do not contain text or labels which screen readers can recognize and present.
  4. The focus order of content on some pages is not always logical when navigating with a keyboard. This means that users using keyboard only for navigating the page will not be able to use it and activate functions in logical sequence.
  5. Some images may not always have an appropriate alternative attribute describing its function.
  6. Some links placed in the sentences may have insufficient colour contrast with the surrounding non-link text.
  7. Some buttons may not have sufficient colour contrast which may make them less visible.
  8. Some id attributes of the elements may be duplicated which can make it difficult to identify the component.
