Accessibility

The content of the website of the Court of Audit is designed with the purpose to provide universal access to all of the published information – to anyone, at all times, and free of charge. Since the principle of universal access is limited by the health conditions of the users (i.e. visual, motion, hearing, cognitive and linguistic limitations) and technical limitations, we paid special attention to them and tried to adjust the website by considering the following recommendations:

  • font size may be adjusted,
  • key images are equipped with descriptions,
  • there are no moving pictures (GIFs),
  • names of the links are descriptive,
  • videos are mostly subtitled.

The website is optimised for multi-device browsing (computer, tablet, mobile phone) and compatible with different website browsers and software. Recommended is the use of the latest version of website browsers whenever it is possible to provide a better support to the users with disabilities and special needs.Despite the fact that we are aiming to increase the accessibility and usability of our website to the greatest extent possible, all the elements do not provide for the optimisation of the complete accessibility.

Therefore, some published contents do not meet all the demands related to accessibility as defined by the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act. Those deficiencies are:

  • we use PDF format for documents:
    • audit reports and other reports with short summaries that are available in text (doc and docx documents) and
    • various presentations (i.e. infographics, posters, manuals);
  • home page provides three elements with scroll box for automatic rotation with limited use of the manual override;
  • photographs and other images are used for visual supplementing of contents related to news and articles; photographs and images are subtitled, include data about source and alternative text, but do not include detailed descriptions or transcriptions of texts, since the adjustment would cause disproportionate burden;
  • schematic presentation of organisational structure of the Court of Audit;
  • documentation of concluded public calls was not adapted, since interference with public procurement documentation of completed public calls is not allowed; when preparing the next public call, we shall follow the standards of accessibility.

Efficiency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food in adapting agriculture to climate change

The Court of Audit of the Republic of Slovenia audited efficiency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food (hereinafter referred to as: Ministry) in adapting agriculture to climate change in the period from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2022. The Court of Audit established that the Ministry was partially efficient.

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns caused by natural processes and anthropogenic factors. Consequences of climate change are among others raising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and more frequent extreme weather conditions, such as drought, heavy rainfall, hail storms and wind, frost and similar. Considering climate change impacts, agriculture is one of the most sensitive sectors due to outdoor agricultural production, it is thus necessary that the Republic of Slovenia starts with systematic adaptation to climate change.

The Court of Audit established that in the period covered by the audit the Ministry failed to treat adaptation of agriculture to climate change as priority. Within the Rural Development Programme 2014–2020, the Ministry provided for the implementation of measures that contribute towards adaptation of agriculture to climate change, namely setting up irrigation systems, greenhouses and modernisation of stables, purchase of protection equipment against frost, hail nets and introducing more resilient plant varieties. The Ministry also financed research and transfer of knowledge via public agricultural advisory service. Nevertheless, the measures respectively adaptation of agriculture to climate change were not planned on the basis of the strategy and the Ministry did not establish which factors of the changing climate affect or may most significantly affect the agricultural vulnerability. Therefore, adaptation of agriculture to climate change was not fully and systematically planned and harmonised, as was the case in the past. This increases the possibility that the implementation of the adaptation shall be merely a response to crises and catastrophes, thus the costs shall be higher than they would otherwise be.

The Court of Audit proposed to the Ministry several recommendations, and also demanded the submission of a response report.

All other documents are available only in Slovenian language on the Slovenian site.
