Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to the service http://www.fime.fi/ as well as FIME’s Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channel.

The statement is last updated on 13 April 2022. The service is covered by the Digital Services Provision Act, which requires public network services to be accessible.

We have evaluated the availability of the service ourselves using the Wave tool.
