Det er årsagen til, at betænkningen er baseret på to vigtige forudsætninger: 1) børns aktive deltagelse i beslutningstagning, der vedrører dem, 2) mainstreaming, dvs. medtagelse og fremme af børns rettigheder i alle EU's politikker.
That is why the report is based on two main presumptions: (1) active participation of children in decision-making that affects them; (2) mainstreaming, that is to say incorporating and promoting the rights of the child in all European Union policies.
