What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to pay particular attention to the recommendations received on cross-border mediation by all relevant stakeholders at national and EU level
• Insists that all child-protection systems should have transnational and cross-border mechanisms in place, which take into account the specificities of cross-border conflicts
• Calls on the Japanese authorities to better cooperate with the EU and to enable the effective enforcement of the access and visiting rights granted by court decisions to left-behind parents
