This accessibility statement applies to the Organisation Registration System (ORS) (https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/organisation-registration/), part of the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Webgate platform. The European Commission is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

Compliance Status

The ORS website is partially compliant with the EN 301 549 v.3.2.1 accessibility standard and the WCAG 2.1 Level AA, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-Accessible Content

The following content is not accessible for the following reasons:

  • Non-compliance with accessibility regulations:
    • Some role="menuitem" elements lack accessible names.
    • Incorrect or missing aria-label attributes in interactive elements like buttons and menu items.
    • Focusable elements exist within [aria-hidden="true"], making them unavailable to screen readers.
    • Incorrect ARIA roles applied to elements where they are not permitted.
    • Missing ARIA-required parent-child relationships for some UI components.
    • Some elements with tabindex > 0 create an inconsistent navigation order.
    • No visible focus indicators on some interactive elements.
    • ARIA dialog elements lack accessible names, making modal pop-ups difficult to use with screen readers.
    • Some form elements, such as checkboxes, lack associated labels.
    • Error messages are not programmatically linked to input fields.
    • Text contrast does not meet the minimum ratio of 4.5:1 in some areas.
  • Disproportionate burden: Older content and legacy elements may not comply with modern accessibility standards due to technical limitations.
  • Content not within the scope of the Directive: Documents published before 23 September 2018 are exempt unless essential for administrative purposes.
