"I can only reiterate that the President-in-Office of the Council indeed took action, which managed to kick-start this issue, before Spain took on the Presidency of the EU. This issue has been raised again, most recently at the Barcelona European Council. I am not aware of the measures Romania has taken with regard to children given up for adoption to American families, nor do I know the specific details of the adoptions under way in EU Member States. I would remind you that the Presidency makes no exceptions for nationality – all children in the EU are equal, whether they be Spanish or from any other Member State. I do not know the numbers of adoptions under way that have been unblocked, but I have the impression that the process is well underway. In any case, I would like to tell you, Mrs Díez, that we will naturally spare no effort, and if we need to take further action, we will not hesitate to do so. I have taken note of what has been said and I will not hesitate to pass these views on to the appropriate person – I will even take the necessary action in this regard myself."@en1
