"I am somewhat surprised by the Council's response, as I think we should be aware of the issue of caged beds. Not only is it cruel, unjust and undignified, but it causes the children concerned anger, aggression and depression. The use of caged beds breaks international law: it is contrary to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and is condemned by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
I have a number of supplementary questions. How will the Council monitor the situation? What pressure can the Council bring to bear to end this outrageous use of caged beds? They exist not only in the Czech Republic but also in Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. What support can be given to the various countries to ensure that a ban is properly implemented? And finally, what is the Council proposing to do in terms of the enlargement negotiations with Romania, where I believe this is also a problem? I would welcome your response, Mr Nicolaï. I urge you to take this issue very seriously."@en1
