lpv:translated text	"I would be making an omission if, in the context of this debate on children’s rights, I did not speak about the case of Shaun Attard, which broke the hearts of the people of Malta and Gozo. This Gozitan child was taken from his father in a manner that surely had a psychological effect on him. It is possible that the law is being observed in this case and that the European directives are being respected. However, there are considerable doubts as to whether what is taking place is really in the best interests of this child. I regret to say that from what I can see, the British authorities are making it difficult for the child’s father to have a fair hearing of this case. Even the few contacts between the child and the father are full of obstacles. I would like to appeal that, while the law is to be observed, Mario Attard is given a fair hearing and, moreover, serious consideration is given to Shaun’s best interests."@en1
