Decleration of Accessibility
FAIR – Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Europe GmbH makes every effort to make its website accessible without barriers in accordance with national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and Council. In addition to the laws mentioned above, the legal basis is the corresponding implementing resolution (EU) 2018/1523 of the Commission, the Hessian Disability Equality Act (Hessisches Behinderten-Gleichstellungsgesetz (HessBGG)) and the Hessian Ordinance on Barrier-Free Information Technology (Hessische Verordnung über barrierefreie Informationstechnik (BITV-HE)) in their respective valid versions.

Conciliation procedure
The Federal Government Commissioner for the Interests of Persons with Disabilities has an arbitration board according to § 16 BGG. The conciliation office has the task of resolving conflicts between people with disabilities and federal public bodies.
You can call on the conciliation office if you are not satisfied with the answers from the above-mentioned contact option. It is not about finding winners or losers. Rather, the aim is to find a solution to a problem together and out of court with the help of the conciliation office.
The conciliation procedure is free of charge. You do not need legal advice either.
On the website of the conciliation office you will find all information about the conciliation procedure. There you can read about how a conciliation procedure works and how to submit a request for conciliation. You can also submit the request in easy language or in German sign language.
