Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 7 a (new)
7a. Highlights the detrimental health effects posed by the large scale institutionalisation of children, given statistics which suggest that for every 3 months a child spends in an institution they lose 1 month of their development; urges, therefore, that EU funding does not support and perpetuate the large scale institutionalisation of children but funds family and community-based services.
