Summary
Particularly, the Council encourages the commission to support the authorities of countries of origin in managing return, by creating reception centres that can provide care for minors returned when the family cannot be found to facilitate the reintegration of the minors in their social and cultural environment while guaranteeing the respect of their best interest, clearly in contradiction with recognized international children rights recommendations and principles.
