What about us? Children´s rights in the European Union, next steps

This report is divided into two parts. Part 1 explores key challenges facing children in the EU today. It also describes the EU’s current approach to children, and identifies a number of weaknesses, including limited legal bases in the EU treaties, relative invisibility of children’s interests, lack of overall policy leader ship and co-ordination, minimal resources from the EU budget, and lack of information on children at EU level. Part 2 examines in detail specific policy areas affecting children in the EU.
