The eusa-rahastot2021.fi website is subject to the Act on the Provision of Digital Services (available in Finnish and Swedish). Under the Act, public online services must be accessible, which means that everyone must have equal access to them.
This statement describes the identified shortcomings in the accessibility of this website and provides information on how you can give us feedback on the accessibility of the service.
Accessibility of the service
The web service largely meets the A and AA requirements of the accessibility criteria required by the Act (WCAG 2.1) and has no critical shortcomings in its accessibility. The key shortcomings in the accessibility of the online service are described below.
We continuously monitor the accessibility of the service using support programmes, among other tools. An external supplier assessed the accessibility of the website in autumn 2022. Accessibility will be taken into account in the development of all new features. We also guide the Ministry’s officials to take into account accessibility requirements in their work.

Website content and functionalities that are not yet accessible
Accessibility issues in PDF documents
The website contains PDF documents published by the Ministry of the Interior after 23 September 2018 that do not meet the accessibility requirements.
- The PDF documents may have visual elements and diagrams that are missing text alternatives. (WCAG 1.1.1)
- The PDF documents may have layout issues that hamper screen reader use, such as unnecessary line breaks and headings with no heading levels. (WCAG 1.3.1)
- Table structures in some PDF documents have issues that hamper screen reader use; for example, table structures are used for text layout, there are no programmatically determined column headings, and similar data has been divided into several tables. (WCAG 1.3.1)
- There are no links to the footnotes in the text of some PDF documents, and it may be difficult to interpret them when using a screen reader. (WCAG 1.3.1)
- There may be shortcomings in file metadata, such as missing titles or incorrect language specifications and author information.
Visual formatting
In individual cases, HTML code has been used instead of CSS to format the content. In embedded content from third party systems, for instance, it is not possible to modify the code. Body text formatting may contain incorrect tags in the HTML code. The bold, font, u, and strike tags may be used incorrectly. These may appear as errors for users of assistive devices. (WCAG 1.3.1)
Contrast issues in the content
The contrast ratio between text and background colour is not always sufficient. The contrast issues apply to e.g. text content, buttons and accordions. (WCAG 1.4.3)
Content imported from other systems
The online service includes content imported from other systems. Any accessibility issues of these contents are due to the original system.
