It is necessary to adopt special procedures for entry and exit checks on persons crossing the external borders, including on accompanied minors, given especially that the persons accompanying or supposedly accompanying minors are in fact often traffickers in human beings, and provision should be made for border control authorities to pay particular attention to all travelling minors.Point 5 of the Declaration of the Executive Committee of 9 February 1998 on the abduction of minors states that ‘it is equally imperative that the authorities responsible for border control systematically check the identity papers and the travel documents of minors. This is particularly important if minors are travelling in the company of just one adult’.In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of the Protocol on the position of Denmark, annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Denmark is not taking part in the adoption of this Decision, and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
