PURPOSE: to authorise certain Member States to accept,\nin the interest of the European Union, the accession of the\nRepublic of Korea to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects\nof International Child Abduction.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Council Decision.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the Council adopts\nthe act after consulting the European Parliament but without being\nobliged to follow its opinion.
\nBACKGROUND: the European Union has set as one of its\naims the promotion of the protection of the rights of the\nchild, as stated in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union.\nMeasures for the protection of children against wrongful removal or\nretention are an essential part of that policy.
\nAs far as parental child abduction is concerned, the\n1980 Hague Convention is the international counterpart of Council\nRegulation No 2201/2003 (known as the Brussels IIa Regulation)\nwhich is the cornerstone of EU judicial cooperation in matrimonial\nmatters and matters of parental responsibility. It complements and\nreinforces the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on the Civil\nAspects of International Child Abduction which establishes, at\ninternational level, a system of obligations and cooperation among\ncontracting States and between central authorities and aims to\nensure the prompt return of wrongfully removed or retained\nchildren.
\nThe Hague Convention of 1980 has been ratified by 93\ncountries, including all EU Member States. The Convention\nentered into force in the Republic of Korea on 1st March 2013.\nSeveral Member States have already accepted the accession of the\nRepublic of Korea to the 1980 Hague Convention.
\nAt the international level, the European Union\nsupports the accession of third States to the 1980 Convention\nin order for its Member States to rely upon a common legal\nframework to deal with international child\nabductions.
\nAn assessment of the situation in the Republic of Korea has led to the conclusion\nthat those Member States that have not yet accepted the accession\nof the Republic of Korea are in a position to accept, in the\ninterest of the Union, the accession of the Republic of Korea under\nthe terms of the 1980 Hague Convention.
\nCONTENT: this proposal for a Council Decision seeks to\nensure that the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of\nInternational Child Abduction enters into force between the\nRepublic of Korea and all EU Member States.
\nThe Member States that have not yet done so are hereby\nauthorised to accept the accession of the Republic of Korea to the\nHague Convention. The Czech Republic, Ireland and the Republic of\nLithuania which have already accepted the accession of the Republic\nof Korea to the 1980 Hague Convention should not deposit new\ndeclarations of acceptance as the existing declarations remains\nvalid under public international law.
\nBeside the general objective of developing judicial\ncooperation in civil matters having cross-border implications, the\npresent proposal is linked to the general objective enshrined in\nArticle 3 of the Treaty on the European Union to protect the rights\nof the child. The proposal is also consistent with the promotion of\nthe use of mediation in the settlement of cross-border family\ndisputes. The Directive\non certain aspects of mediation in civil and commercial matters\napplies, among other matters, to family law within the common\nEuropean judicial area.
\nThe United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation\n(EC) No 2201/2003 and are therefore taking part in the adoption and\napplication of this Decision. Denmark, however, shall not be taking\npart in it.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 649 votes to 4,\nwith 17 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\nCouncil decision authorising certain Member States to accept, in\nthe interest of the European Union, the accession of the Republic\nof Korea to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of\nInternational Child Abduction.
\nIn line with the recommendation made by Committee on\nLegal Affairs, Parliament approved, without amendment, the\nauthorisation for certain Member States to accept, in the\ninterest of the European Union, the accession of the Republic of\nKorea to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of\nInternational Child Abduction.
\nIn brief, the EU now has exclusive external competence\nin this field as confirmed by the Court of Justice in Opinion 1/13\nof 14 October 2014. Following the accession of South Korea to the\nConvention, a Council decision is therefore necessary to authorise\nthe Member States (except Denmark, which is excluded from the\nUnion's civil justice policy, and Czechia, Ireland and Lithuania,\nwhich have already accepted the accession of South Korea) to accept\nthe accession of South Korea.
