The European Commission adopted on 6 May 2010 an Action Plan to increase the protection of unaccompanied minors entering the EU, encompassing common standards for guardianship and legal representation. The aim of the Plan is to create a common European approach to make sure that a decision on the future of each unaccompanied minor is taken by the competent authorities as soon as possible, preferably within six months. As a priority, Member States should trace the families of the unaccompanied minors and carefully monitor their reintegration in their home society. If it is in the best interest of the child, Member States should find alternative solutions including granting international protection status or resettlement in the EU |
