Claude Moraes MEP is the Chair of the LIBE Committee of the European Parliament. CHIS has written to Claude Moraes to ask for a meeting to discuss the EU’s decision to introduce a new law which would make 16 the minimum age at which a young person could decide for themselves whether or not to join Facebook or use other online services. Potentially this conflicts with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and it was taken without any consultation with interested parties.

CHIS asks for a meeting to discuss introducing new law that would give victims of child abuse offences the right to obtain compensation and financial support for any necessary treatment. The measure is also intended to act as a further deterrent to potential offenders who, in addition to risking a caution or a conviction would now face their assets being put at risk.
