Accessibility Statement

  1. Introduction

    VI.P coop. soc. agricola is committed to making its website and mobile applications accessible in accordance with the national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies, as well as the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882).
    The legal basis in Italy includes, in particular, Law No. 4 of January 9, 2004 (commonly known as the "Stanca Law") and Legislative Decree No. 82/2022, which transposes the European Accessibility Act and becomes mandatory for large parts of the private sector from 28 June 2025.
    This accessibility statement applies to the website: www.vip.coop

    1.1 Description of Services Provided

      The website offers comprehensive information about the cultivation, quality and marketing of fruit from the Vinschgau Valley – especially apples. Visitors gain insights into the cooperative's philosophy, sustainable production, the different apple varieties, and the origin and special features of the region. In addition, services such as the organisation of guided tours, information material for trading partners and the media, and support with product enquiries are offered. The website serves as a central platform for consumers, retailers and partners to find out about VIP's products, values and activities.

    1.2 General Website Functions

      The website enables users to find specific information about fruit cooperatives in the Vinschgau Valley. It offers features such as product information, variety overviews, proof of origin and seasonal availability.

In addition, information on VIP's philosophy, sustainability issues and cooperation with partners is available. The website is designed for both end consumers and a specialist audience and offers a modern, visually appealing user interface.

  2. Accessibility Status

    This website is partially accessible, as not all requirements are fully met.

  3. Non-accessible Content

    Despite our efforts, it is currently not possible to provide certain content in a fully accessible manner. This includes, in particular:

    • Older PDF documents, office files, and videos published before the deadlines outlined in Directive (EU) 2016/2102. These documents and media may contain inadequate structuring, missing alternative texts, or lack accessible features such as subtitles or audio descriptions.
    • Complex or older content that cannot be quickly adapted due to technical or resource limitations.


    We are continuously working to address these barriers.
