ROUNDTABLE
The Best Interests of Children: Have they been well served in Europe?
Venue: European Parliament, Brussels, June 2, 2015
The Roundtable is divided into two blocks. The first block will be between 11.00-12.00 and will focus on the child protection systems across Europe, the way they take children and the measures that should be developed to prevent this from happening.
The second block would be then from 12.00-13.00 and it will concentrate on the topic of forced adoption and the way this issue could be addressed on the European level.
The seminar and Q&A session that will be included in each block will be hosted by MEP Tomas Zdechovský and he will also sum up the outcomes of the seminar in the last 10 minutes (12.50-13.00).
