DRAFT EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION

– having regard to Rule 84 and Rule 117(8) of its Rules of Procedure,

– having regard to the report of the Committee on Legal Affairs (A100000/2026),(A10-0157/2026),

1. Approves the authorisation of the Member States to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Cabo Verde to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of the International Child Abduction;

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Cabo Verde acceded to the Convention on 4 October 2022, and the Convention entered into force in Cabo Verde on 1 January 2023.

In this view, the rapporteur considers the accession of Cabo Verde to the Convention as a welcomed and important step towards closing the legal gap. Taking into consideration the proximity and close relation between Cabo Verde and EU Member States and the Commission’s positive assessment of CeboCabo Verde level of implementation of the Convention, your rapporteur fully supports the proposal for a Council decision authorising the Member States to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Cabo Verde to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of the International Child Abduction. The rapporteur also welcomes Cabo Verde recent accession to the 1996 Child Protection and 2007 Child Support Conventions and the involvement of UNICEF in proper implementation of the Hague Children Conventions.

He therefore proposes that Parliament approves the proposal without amendments.

ANNEX: DECLARATION OF INPUT

The rapporteur declares under his exclusive responsibility that he did not include in his report input from interest representatives falling within the scope of the Interinstitutional Agreement on a mandatory transparency register, or from representatives of public authorities of third countries, including their diplomatic missions and embassies, to be listed in this Annex pursuant to Article 8 of Annex I to the Rules of Procedure.
