Interview comment by Manuela Valenti (July 2012) during the teacher interviews on the draft criteria. She called inclusion of MLE in the POF "very hard to achieve" and not a guarantee things get done. Following such comments, the institutionalization criterion was removed from the final version.

"Of course, it would be desirable to include MLE in the POF, but I don't see this as something indispensable"
