We have to evaluate what is required to be a fair datapoint.

From the specification:

Product Perspective
The FDP has initially two usage purposes: (i) to be used as a stand-alone web 
application, where data owners give access to their datasets in a FAIR manner 
and, (ii) to be integrated in larger data interoperability systems, such as the
FAIRport, providing the dataset accessibility functionality for such systems...
Architecture
...
Figure 5 depicts a view of the current architecture of the FDP using Archimate's 
Application layer notation. From top down, we have the Archimate's Application 
Interface representing the FDP's API. This API is currently composed of two 
parts, the Metadata Provider API and the FAIR Data Accessor API. The 
Metadata Provider API is the public interface of the Metadata Provider Service. 
Similarly, the FAIR Data Accessor API is the public interface of the FAIR Data 
Accessor Service.
...

It seem as if data access is part of the fair data point. This might be an issue for the VCR since it only links to the actual data sets.
