COUNCIL DECISION (EU) 2024/3219
of 12 December 2024
on the position to be taken on behalf of the European Union within the Committee of the Parties of the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence with regard to matters related to institutions and public administration of the Union
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 336, in conjunction with Article 218(9), thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (‘the Convention’) was concluded by the Union by means of Council Decision (EU) 2023/1075 (1), with regard to institutions and public administration of the Union, and by means of Council Decision (EU) 2023/1076 (2), with regard to matters related to judicial cooperation in criminal matters, asylum and non-refoulement, insofar as they fall within the exclusive competence of the Union. The Convention entered into force for the Union on 1 October 2023. |
(2) |
Pursuant to Article 66(1) of the Convention, the Group of experts on action against violence against women and domestic violence (‘GREVIO’) is to monitor the implementation of the Convention by the Parties. Pursuant to Article 68(3) of the Convention, the evaluation proceduressubsequent to GREVIO’s initial baseline evaluation procedure, concerning the reports on legislative and other measures giving effect to the provisions of this Convention submitted by the Parties are to be divided into rounds (‘thematic evaluation rounds’). Pursuant to Article 68(11) of the Convention, GREVIO is to adopt its report and conclusions concerning the measures taken by the Party concerned. Pursuant to Article 68(12) of the Convention, on the basis of the report and conclusions of GREVIO, the Committee of the Parties established by Article 67 of the Convention (‘the CoP’) is able to adopt recommendations addressed to the Party concerned. |

The first of thematic evaluation rounds, entitled ‘Building trust by delivering support, protection and justice’, was launched in 2022 and will run from 2023 to 2031.

In September 2024, the Secretariat of the CoP shared with the Parties draft decision IC-CP(2024)10 on recommendations to be adopted in light of GREVIO’s reports adopted as part of the first thematic evaluation round (‘the draft decision’). The draft decision provides for a procedure for the adoption of, and the supervision of the implementation of, recommendations by the CoP and contains a model recommendation. The draft decision is to be discussed and, if possible, adopted at the 17th meeting of the Committee of the Parties on 17 December 2024. |
(5) |
The Union has exclusive competence to accept obligations set out in the Convention with regard to its own institutions and public administration, within the scope of Article 336 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. In its Opinion 1/19 (3), the Court of Justice of the European Union confirmed that a significant part of the obligations of the Convention relating to the adoption of preventive and protection measures are, in essence, binding on the Union as regards the staff in its administration and as regards the members of the public visiting the premises and buildings of its... |
