"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution, which was concerned with the Brussels IIa Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003. This was an important motion as the enforcement of family law decisions, particularly in custody cases, is a matter which needs to be urgently addressed.
The resolution provides recommendations to the Commission and Member States on how to address the shortcomings in the upcoming review of the regulation. It calls for the interests of the child to be paramount in custody cases, and it also calls for a proper assessment of individual cases in family-related issues, which should not be hindered by budgetary cuts as a result of austerity measures. Citizens (primarily women) compelled to use the family courts should not feel strained or be caused additional stress by an under-resourced centre only nominally dedicated to family welfare.
Importantly, the motion requested that Member States designate specialised chambers within family courts, or cross-border mediation bodies, to deal with cross-border child-related cases, and it stressed the need to establish minimum standards for the hearing of a child in national civil proceedings, in accordance with Article 24 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights."@en1
