#32026D1212EU position on Istanbul Convention monitoring and expert elections
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision sets the EU’s position for a Council of Europe meeting on the Istanbul Convention, focused on monitoring how certain countries are following recommendations on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. It concerns EU institutional and public administration matters, rather than changing rules directly for businesses or citizens. In practice, the EU will support conclusions on countries’ progress and participate in the election of members of GREVIO, the expert body that monitors implementation of the Convention. The impact is mainly institutional: EU representatives get a clear mandate for the meeting.
