Accessibility Statement

1. Our commitment

Romania For Business SRL is committed to making its website, digital content and online communication accessible to as many people as reasonably possible, including persons with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive and neurological disabilities and persons who use assistive technologies.

We seek to provide visitors with equal and effective access to information about our company-formation, legal, tax, accounting, licensing, real-estate, recruitment, human-resources and related professional services.

Accessibility is treated as an ongoing responsibility. We review accessibility when publishing content, introducing new website functions, changing the website design and selecting third-party digital services.

2. Scope of this Statement

This Accessibility Statement applies to:

• the website available at www.romania-for-business.com;
• public-facing pages and online forms controlled by Romania For Business SRL;
• documents and other digital materials published directly by Romania For Business SRL through the website; and
• electronic information concerning services offered through the website.

3. Description and operation of the website

The website is principally an informational and enquiry platform for international entrepreneurs, investors, companies and individuals interested in establishing, managing or expanding business activities in Romania.

Users may ordinarily:

• browse information about services;
• navigate between service and information pages;
• submit an enquiry through a contact form;
• contact Romania For Business SRL by email;
• request information, quotations or professional assistance; and
• access policies, terms and other website documents.

4. Legal and technical framework

Romania For Business SRL takes into account, where relevant:

• Directive (EU) 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements for products and services;
• Romanian Law no. 232/2022 regarding accessibility requirements applicable to products and services;
• Romanian legislation concerning the protection and promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities;
• Romanian anti-discrimination legislation; and
• applicable harmonised standards, technical specifications and recognised accessibility guidance.

5. Current accessibility status

Romania For Business SRL does not currently claim that the entire website has achieved complete WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance or that it has received formal accessibility certification.

A full independent accessibility audit has not yet been completed. Accessibility barriers that have not yet been identified may therefore remain.

Our current objective is to review and improve the website progressively, prioritising functions and content that are important for:

• understanding the services offered;
• submitting enquiries;
• accessing contact information;
• reviewing legal and policy documents;
• navigating between principal website sections; and
• communicating with Romania For Business SRL.

6. Accessibility measures

When designing, maintaining and updating the website, Romania For Business SRL aims to:

6.1 Structure and navigation

• use descriptive page titles and headings;
• maintain a logical heading hierarchy;
• provide consistent and predictable navigation;
• use meaningful link text;
• avoid unnecessary complexity in page layouts; and
• enable users to identify the purpose of principal pages and controls.

6.2 Keyboard access

• make essential website functions usable without requiring a mouse;
• maintain a logical keyboard focus order;
• provide visible focus indicators;
• avoid keyboard traps; and
• make interactive controls identifiable and operable through standard keyboard commands.

6.3 Text and visual presentation

• maintain sufficient contrast between text and its background;
• avoid relying exclusively on colour to communicate important information;
• use readable type sizes and spacing;
• support browser zoom and text enlargement without unnecessary loss of content;
• avoid images of text where ordinary text can be used; and
• maintain responsive layouts for different screen sizes and orientations.

6.4 Images and non-text content

• provide meaningful alternative text for informative images;
• identify decorative images appropriately so that they do not create unnecessary screen-reader output;
• provide text explanations for material diagrams, graphics or visual instructions where practicable; and
• avoid using complex visual material as the only method of communicating essential information.

6.5 Forms and interactive elements

• provide visible and programmatically identifiable form labels;
• explain the purpose of required form fields;
• identify input errors clearly;
• provide understandable instructions for correcting errors;
• avoid imposing unnecessarily short time limits; and
• make buttons and other controls sufficiently descriptive.

6.6 Documents

For documents published by Romania For Business SRL, we aim, where practicable, to use:

• machine-readable text rather than scanned images;
• structured headings;
• logical reading order;
• accessible tables;
• descriptive links;
• readable fonts and spacing; and
• alternative formats when the original document cannot readily be made accessible.

6.7 Language and content

We aim to write website content in clear and structured English suitable for an international audience.

Romanian legal, tax, accounting and administrative concepts may be complex. Where practicable, we explain specialist terminology, use headings and short paragraphs, and provide direct assistance when a user requires clarification.

7. Potential and known limitations

Certain website content or functions may not yet be fully accessible. Potential limitations include:

• older PDF, Word, presentation or other downloadable documents;
• documents received from public authorities or other third parties;
• complex tables, legal forms, organisational charts or diagrams;
• embedded maps, videos, social-media content or external widgets;
• CAPTCHA or anti-spam tools;
• third-party contact, booking, payment or communication systems;
• content created before the adoption of current accessibility procedures; and
• functionality affected by particular combinations of browsers, operating systems and assistive technologies.

8. Third-party services and content

The website may contain links to, or integrations with, services operated by third parties, including:

• Romanian or European public authorities;
• company and professional registries;
• banks and payment providers;
• mapping services;
• social-media and video platforms;
• scheduling and communication services;
• analytics and security providers; and
• other professional or commercial service providers.

9. Alternative formats and individual assistance

A person who cannot access website content or use a website function may request:

• the relevant information in plain text;
• a structured Word document;
• an accessible PDF;
• a larger-print version;
• an explanation by email;
• a telephone or video explanation, where appropriate; or
• another reasonable accessible format.

Requests should identify, where possible:

• the relevant page address or document;
• the information or service required;
• the accessibility barrier encountered;
• the preferred alternative format; and
• any assistive technology being used, where this information would help us understand the problem.

10. Reporting an accessibility barrier

Accessibility questions and reports may be sent to:

A report should preferably include:

• the URL of the relevant page;
• the name of the relevant document;
• a description of the problem;
• the browser, device and operating system used;
• the assistive technology used, where applicable;
• the format or solution requested; and
• contact details for our response.

11. Prioritisation and remediation

Accessibility issues will generally be prioritised according to:

• whether the issue prevents access to an essential service or function;
• the number of users potentially affected;
• the seriousness and frequency of the barrier;
• the availability of an immediate alternative;
• legal and regulatory relevance;
• technical complexity; and
• the resources reasonably required for remediation.

We may address an issue through content correction, code changes, design changes, document remediation, replacement of a third-party component, provision of an alternative format or direct assistance.

12. Complaints and legal rights

We encourage users to contact Romania For Business SRL first so that we have an opportunity to investigate and address the reported barrier.

Nothing in this Statement limits any mandatory right, remedy or complaint procedure available under Romanian or European Union law.

Where Law no. 232/2022 applies to a particular service, eligible persons and organisations may submit complaints to the competent market-surveillance authority or seek remedies before the competent courts. For consumer-facing e-commerce services, the designated Romanian authority is the Authority for the Digitalisation of Romania, subject to any subsequent legislative or institutional changes.

Complaints concerning alleged discrimination may also be submitted through the procedures made available by the competent Romanian anti-discrimination authorities or courts.

13. Fundamental alteration and disproportionate burden

Where permitted by applicable law, a particular accessibility requirement may be limited if its implementation would fundamentally alter the essential nature of a service or impose a disproportionate burden.

Any reliance on such an exception will not be presumed merely because remediation involves cost or technical work. Where legally required, the relevant assessment will be documented using the applicable statutory criteria.

Where an exception applies, Romania For Business SRL will still consider whether an alternative accessible method can reasonably be offered.

14. Ongoing monitoring

Romania For Business SRL intends to maintain accessibility through measures that may include:

• periodic automated testing;
• manual keyboard testing;
• testing of forms and navigation;
• screen-reader spot checks;
• review of colour contrast and focus visibility;
• review of new and updated documents;
• consideration of user feedback;
• accessibility requirements for website suppliers; and
• reassessment following material website redesigns or technology changes.

15. Changes to this Statement

We may amend this Accessibility Statement to reflect:

• changes to the website;
• new online services or contractual functions;
• accessibility testing results;
• feedback received from users;
• changes to applicable legislation or standards; or
• changes to our internal accessibility procedures.
