This is a landmark day for all families in Europe. Thank you @vonderleyen and all colleagues who worked on this. Please do read the @EU_Commission proposal. #RainbowFamilies
RT @EU_Commission: All children should have the same rights irrespective of their type of family.
Today, we propose rules on the recognition of parenthood for families travelling or moving to another EU country.
If you are parent in one country, you are parent in every country.

The Commission’s proposal for a Regulation will improve and protect the rights of same-sex parents and their children by ensuring parents recognised in one EU country are recognised as parents in all EU countries.
