"Mr President, international child abduction is a morally reprehensible act that can cause severe psychological damage to children and parents alike. The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction gives the legal means to fight this transborder phenomenon. I am aware that the Council is contesting the legal basis on which the Union would approve accession to this Convention for eight new members. This is the reason why my colleagues’ action is so timely. The Parliament cannot allow any delays that might prevent future misconduct. I ask the Commission, along with my colleagues, to clarify in the shortest possible time the Union’s exclusive competence in this matter. We must allow these eight new members to accede to the Convention and call on the appropriate institutions to speed up their cooperation. Every minute and every hour counts in the fight against this illegal practice. We should remember that the children of this world count on us for their protection."@en1
