Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14 a (new)
(14a) According to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights, children have the right to private and family life. A family is more than a child's connection to its parents. In order to fully respect a child's right to private and family life and the best interests of the child, it is important to respect and recognise not only the child- parent legal ties but also their parents' partnership and marriage. This Regulation should include the recognition of partnership and marriage in the European Certificate of Parenthood.

Amendment 65 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14 b (new)
(14b) This Regulation paves the way for the legal recognition of all types of families, regardless of their formation. It is hardly acceptable to consider that only certain types of families are entitled to legal recognition. The non-recognition of families that do not fit the traditional family model does not respect the best interests of the child, as it discriminates children on grounds of birth, is contrary to the dignity of the child, is detrimental to the child's harmonious development and prevents the effective enjoyment of the fundamental rights by children.
