The European Parliament has adopted a Resolution on LGBTIQ rights

September 21, 2021

The European Parliament has adopted a Resolution on LGBTIQ rights in the EU which cites – and adopts many of the suggestions made in – the Study ‘Obstacles to the Free Movement of Rainbow Families in the EU’, which has been co-authored by Professor Alina Tryfonidou, Professor of European Law at Neapolis University Pafos. The Study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the PETI Committee, examines: (i) the obstacles that rainbow families (same-sex couples, with or without children) face when they attempt to exercise their free movement rights within the EU, including examples in petitions presented to the PETI committee; (ii) how EU Member States treat same-sex married couples, registered partners, unregistered partners, and their children in cross-border situations; and (iii) action that the EU institutions could take to remove these obstacles.
