"It is a sad day when we have to acknowledge that every day, more than 26 000 children under the age of five die around the world, mostly from preventable causes.
It is tragic that many lives can be saved with the appropriate measures, be they medical or financial, and still the situation is aggravating. Special attention has to be given to the most vulnerable and socially excluded girls and boys, including disabled children, migrant children and children from minorities.
The report is commendable. I only disagree with those aspects which refer to abortion.
The Committee on Development adopted this own-initiative report (drafted by Glenys Kinnock (PES, UK) on a special place of children in EU external action in response to the Commission communication on the subject. The committee welcomed the communication and the four guiding principles of the Commission’s Action Plan on Children’s Rights in External Action, which include a holistic and coherent child-rights-based approach.
Without loosing any more time we must:
(a) undertake a thorough analysis of children’s rights;
(b) build up existing youth and children’s networks as sustainable platforms for consulting children;
(c) ensure that international agreements between the EU and third countries should contain a legally binding clause on the protection of children’s rights."@en1
