"The Committee on Petitions has found that 25% of the petitions received relate to free movement. This figure is not surprising, given that many citizens feel disenchanted with the European project when they see that some Member States offer less favourable treatment than others, and come across discrimination, non-recognition of their diplomas or qualifications, lack of adequate services for people with disabilities and problems relating to family law. As European Parliament mediator for international child abduction cases, I have seen how, in recent years with free movement, there has been an increase in dual-nationality families, which are affected by approximately 140 000 divorces a year. The problem is made worse when child custody is an issue, as this is often problematic and regulated differently from one country to the next. An obvious example is Germany, with its
which gives greater rights to a German parent over a foreign one when deciding on custody, trying with all possible means to stop the child being taken out of Germany. Is the Committee also aware that this example is another breach of the freedom of movement of persons?"@en1
