It is, according to Brussels, to reaffirm the strong commitment of all EU institutions and Member States to promote and protect the rights of children in all EU policies.
It is recommended that in future policies of the European Union (EU) that directly or indirectly affect children are designed, implemented and followed taking into account the best interests of children, defends the Community executive.
The Commission notes, incidentally, that many actions taken by the EU have an impact on children, so the Union can therefore bring in multiple domains, an asset essential and can both support the action of Member States, such as helping them by providing a framework for the adoption of good practices in the EU.
Brussels points out that children's rights are integrated into the EU fundamental rights would be respected under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and underlines that the Lisbon Treaty, in force for about a year, also requires the EU to promote the protection of children's rights.
