As for the EU' s responsibility, the rights of children must be recognised in the Charter according to the areas in which the Union can give added value to the promotion of the social and economic situation and even the citizenship, in its broadest sense, of children.
Hvad angår EU's overordnede forpligtelser på dette felt, bør charteret efter min opfattelse omfatte en anerkendelse af børns rettigheder, idet charteret bør fokusere på områder, hvor EU kan fremme indsatsen for at sikre børns rettigheder i social og økonomisk henseende samt deres borgerrettigheder i videste forstand.
