Non-accessible content

Some pages still contain technical accessibility shortcomings:       

• Some interface elements (such as buttons or form fields) do not correctly convey their name, role or value to assistive technologies, preventing certain users from using these elements effectively.
• Some links do not have descriptive link text that indicates their function.
• The focus is not visible when navigating with the keyboard on the home page.
• Keyboard navigation may not work correctly on certain pages from the home page.

Proposed alternatives

For inaccessible elements, an alternative is available:

• Modify CSS: clearly add a focus style (e.g. a contrasting border or background)
• Add ARIA roles and attributes

Improvement plan

The identified issues that must be addressed by the supplier have been reported and will be resolved through an update scheduled for the second half of 2026. Content management errors are being systematically corrected by the editorial team.
