Their record over time
Validity Foundation filed 2 positions between 20 Aug 2023 and 26 Sept 2023, across 2 of the 583 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 2 times.
What they argued
Validity Foundation is making this submission in response to the proposed Regulation on the protection of vulnerable adults. The proposal, in our view, fundamentally contradicts the general obligations of Member States and European Union as parties to the CRPD (Article 4 CRPD).
