Accessibility

Description of the Web Accessibility Symbol - a tilted sphere, superimposed with a grid. A key hole is cut into its surface.

The display of the Web Accessibility Symbol - the display of the Web Accessibility Symbol is a guarantee that the pages on this website are accessible and adhere to the principles set out in Resolution of Council of Ministers no. 155/2007 of 2 October 2007, which establishes the guidelines with respect to accessibility by citizens with special needs to websites of the Government and of central administration services and bodies.

At the bottom of the text version of each page in the anacom domain there is a hyperlink by which the level of accessibility of each informative page or each electronic service can be validated. By clicking on the link "Validate WAI-AAA-WCAG 1.0" the user will be taken to the Cynthia Says website, an automatic validation tool that is one of many available on the W3C's list of the accessibility tools.

The text version can be accessed from the upper left-hand corner of any page of this website and allows unrestricted navigation of the site's informative content as well as the use of the interactive Online Services and the Tariff Monitor.  All content encompassed by the anacom domain adheres to the principles of accessibility set out by the Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (WAI - W3C) and can be read by browsers of various types: audio browsers, text browsers, Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, Opera, Safari and others.

At the time of the launch of version 3 of this website on 4 July 2008, ANACOM cannot guarantee that all the requirements of the Guidelines of the Web Content Accessibility 1.0, the W3C have been implemented in graphic version.  However, it is our aim in the near future to provide all our visitors with a satisfactory experience in the use of the graphical interfaces, regardless of any special needs they may have, or the type of equipment or connection they use to access the Internet. We are aware, however, that this objective will be so much more easily and quickly achieved with greater cooperation from the producers of browsers, especially the most popular ones.

The ANACOM has undertaken to actively participate in the construction of an inclusive information society, where all users have easy access to information and knowledge. Since the launch of version 2 of www.anacom.pthttp://www.anacom.pt/render.jsp?contentId=483428 in 2003, the text version has fulfilled this commitment.

This page will be constantly updated, so please visit us again soon to see how ANACOM continues to apply the principles set out in WCAG 1.0 of the 1999 World Wide Web Consortium.
