There may be situations that, despite the efforts of the editors of the Portal, certain documents published on the page are unavailable due to the fact that:

they come from various sources,
they are very extensive, and their development took place in several organizational units, which made it impossible to influence their target content and shape (e.g. detailed descriptions of priority axes),
they have been published on the basis of rules adopted in another institution,
they were published before the Act on digital accessibility came into effect;
it is possible that some videos posted on the Portal may also lack subtitles or other required elements due to the fact that they were also published before the Act on digital accessibility came into effect or they come from external sources,
due to the system limitations on the Portal, the lang tag is not used by editors.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
