Ca. whereas the European Ombudsman launched a Strategic Initiative on the leave rights of certain EU staff members and the best interests of the child (SI/1/2019/AMF)1a, which led to the harmonisation of rules between the European Commission and the Council regarding leave rights of staff members who become parents through surrogacy; whereas no comparable results were produced in the European Parliament due to unwillingness to adapt its rules on leave; _________________ 1a https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu/en/op ening-summary/en/113554

Amendment 123 #

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23 a (new)
23a. Strongly welcomes the European Ombudsman’s strategic initiative on the leave rights of certain EU staff members and the best interests of the child; takes the position that the inconsistency between the European Parliament and the other institutions1a regarding leave rights upon surrogacy ignores the primacy of the overriding best interests of the child and places staff members who used surrogacy, such as infertile, same-sex or single parents, at a significant risk of discrimination; recalls the conclusions of the Ombudsman regarding the importance of protecting the best interests of the child; calls on the Parliament to engage in inter-institutional dialogue and to adopt a decision harmonising these rules with those of the Council and Commission; _________________ 1a The Commission grants 20 weeks of special leave in addition to 10 days for the birth of each new-born, as codified in its March 2020 decision (https://egalite- online.eu/wp- content/uploads/2020/03/C_2020_1559_F 1_COMMISSION_DECISION_EN_V3_ P1_1043892.pdf). The Council applies the same rule on an ad hoc basis. The Parliament mentioned that only the 10 days would be granted for each new-born to a staff member in a similar situation, because maternity leave requires the production of a medical certificate of pregnancy; the Parliament does not foresee the use of special leave for this purpose.
