Hague Convention (1980) on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction: accession of Panama, Uruguay, Colombia and El Salvador; acceptance by Austria and Romania

The European Parliament adopted by 611 votes to 2, with 28 abstentions, a legislative resolution of the European Parliament on the proposal for a Council decision authorising Austria and Romania to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Panama, Uruguay, Colombia and El Salvador to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

In line with the recommendation made by its Committee on Legal Affairs, Parliament approved the authorisation for Austria and Romania to accept, in the interest of the European Union, the accession of Panama, Uruguay, Colombia and El Salvador to the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction.

The acceptance of Austria and Romania would render the 1980 Convention applicable between Uruguay, Colombia, El Salvador and all EU Member States except Denmark. In relation to Panama the 1980 Convention will become applicable with all EU Member States.
