TheĀ European Disability Forum
and otherĀ organisationsĀ have writtenĀ
a letter to theĀ European Commission.Ā
Inclusion Europe has signed this letter.Ā
The letter was also signed by 8 MEPs.Ā Ā Ā

The European Commission has a teamĀ Ā
which works on disability rights.Ā
We call this team disability unit.Ā

The disability unit tries to make sureĀ Ā
that the rights of people with disabilities are respected.Ā
Ā
It also tries to make sure that all countries in theĀ European UnionĀ Ā
follow the UN CRPD.Ā

There are some people who manage the entire European Commission.Ā
The letter to theĀ European CommissionĀ says that the disability unit
should work directly with these people.Ā
This is important so everywhere in the European CommissionĀ Ā
people pay attention to disability rights.Ā

If everyone in the European Commission pays attention to disabilityĀ rights,Ā Ā
then it is much easier to make sure that all countries follow the UN CRPD.
