Understand the proposal
Six questions, grounded in the official record.Who could be affected?
The directly affected actor is the EU acting in the Committee of the Parties, and the draft conclusions concern nine Convention parties named in the file.
Why is this proposed?
The Commission says the position is needed because the planned acts could influence the interpretation of the Istanbul Convention in future EU law.
Where would it apply?
It applies only to the EU’s own institutions and public administration, within the Union’s exclusive competence under the Istanbul Convention.
When could it matter?
The available official record does not specify this yet.
How would it work?
The EU would act by not objecting to the conclusions and by abstaining in the GREVIO election.
