Through various research programmes, EASY has been addressing the needs and requirements of people with disabilities and financing different web accessibility projects for over ten years.

One of the projects financially supported by the European Commission is the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) project, which contributes to promoting and developing guidelines and recommendations for web access for all. The WAI forms part of the  World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which receives funding from a number of sources, notably from Europe, the United States, and Japan.

This procedure was already used on the EASY web portal and it will used again during the third phase in order to verify the usability of the new products uploaded on the web portal. (view)

A " Level A " conformance logo appears on some (top level) EASY pages.
This logo indicates that these pages, as well as (some of) their subpages, were designed with accessibility in mind.
However, in spite of continuous efforts to monitor these pages, full "Level A" compliance cannot be guaranteed at all times.

This policy applies to all new and updated web pages on the EASY server. 
It will be reviewed in the future and adapted to any future versions of the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
