MEPs and organisations send a letter to the European Commission – ETR

The European Disability Forum
and other organisations have written 
a letter to the European Commission. 

Inclusion Europe has signed this letter. 

The letter was also signed by 8 MEPs.   

The European Commission has a team  

which works on disability rights. 

We call this team disability unit. 

The disability unit tries to make sure  

that the rights of people with disabilities are respected. 

It also tries to make sure that all countries in the European Union  

follow the UN CRPD. 

There are some people who manage the entire European Commission. 

The letter to the European Commission says that the disability unit

should work directly with these people. 

This is important so everywhere in the European Commission  

people pay attention to disability rights. 

If everyone in the European Commission pays attention to disability rights,  

then it is much easier to make sure that all countries follow the UN CRPD.
