summary
The European Parliament adopted by 641 votes to 3, with 7 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a Council decision authorising the Republic of Austria and Romania to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Peru to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. In line with the recommendation made by Committee on Legal Affairs, Parliament approved, without amendment, the authorisation for the Republic of Austria and Romania to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Peru to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. In brief, the EU now has exclusive external competence in this field as confirmed by the Court of Justice in Opinion 1/13 of 14 October 2014. Following the accession of Peru to the Convention, a Council decision is therefore necessary to authorise the two Member States, Austria and Romania, who have not yet accepted the accession of Peru to do so.

summary
PURPOSE: to authorise Austria and Romania to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Peru to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the Council adopts the act after consulting the European Parliament but without being obliged to follow its opinion. BACKGROUND: the European Union has set as one of its aims the promotion of the protection of the rights of the child, as stated in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union. Measures for the protection of children against wrongful removal or retention are an essential part of that policy. As far as parental child abduction is concerned, the 1980 Hague Convention is the international counterpart of Council Regulation No 2201/2003 (known as the Brussels IIa Regulation) which is the cornerstone of EU judicial cooperation in matrimonial matters and matters of parental responsibility. It complements and reinforces the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction which establishes, at international level, a system of obligations and cooperation among contracting States and between central authorities and aims to ensure the prompt return of wrongfully removed or retained children. The Hague Convention of 1980 has been ratified by 93 countries, including all EU Member States. It is already into force between Peru and the overwhelming majority of the EU Member States (25). Only Austria, Denmark and Romania have not yet accepted the accession of Peru to the Convention. In the course of 2015, Peru has communicated to the Commission its interest in making the Convention enter into force also in respect of Austria and Romania, which should therefore be authorised by the European Union to accept the accession of Peru to the 1980 Convention. CONTENT: under this proposed Council Decision, Austria and Romania would be authorised to accept, in the interest of the Union, accession of Peru to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. The other EU Member States have already accepted the accession of Peru to the 1980 Hague Convention and should therefore not deposit a new declaration of acceptance as the existing declaration remains valid under public international law. Beside the general objective of developing judicial cooperation in civil matters having cross-border implications, the present proposal is linked to the general objective enshrined in Article 3 of the Treaty on the European Union to protect the rights of the child. The proposal is also consistent with the promotion of the use of mediation in the settlement of cross-border family disputes. The Directive on certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters applies, among other matters, to family law within the common European judicial area. The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003 and are therefore taking part in the adoption and application of this Decision. Denmark, however, shall not be taking part in it.
