Key points

  • The proposal seeks to authorize Romania to accept Chile, Iceland, and the Bahamas into a major international child protection treaty.
  • The decision is based on the legal framework established by the 1980 Hague Convention.
  • The convention aims to prevent national bias in custody cases by ensuring courts in the child's country of residence make the decisions.
  • Because the EU has exclusive authority in this field, Romania must act in the interest of the entire European Union.
