Summary
Pursuant to Article 3 of the Hague Convention of 25 October 1980 on International Child Abduction, a removal is to be considered wrongful when it is in breach of rights of custody that were actually exercised. The condition of actual exercise of rights of custody – which is reaffirmed by Article 13(a) of said Convention – is also maintained in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/2003.
