  • Date of the last review of this statement:

This statement was prepared on the basis of a self-assessment carried out by the public body.

The review of 3 November 2026 covered selected pages of this website, automated checks using axe-core, keyboard navigation, alternative text for photographs and the layout on a small screen. Its scope was limited: it was not a full audit, did not include testing with actual screen readers or a complete assessment of all materials and external services.

You can use standard browser keyboard shortcuts on this website. No custom keyboard shortcuts have been introduced.
