The EU remains deeply dismayed at the unacceptably high levels of grave violations against children outlined in the report of the Secretary-General across a number of situations of concern.

The Candidate Countries North Macedonia *, Montenegro * ,Albania *, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, the country of the Stabilisation and Association Process and potential candidate Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as Georgia, Andorra, Monaco and San Marino align themselves with this statement. I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union and its Member States.
