ENThe article examines the procedure of recognition and enforcement of judgements requiring the return of abducted children within the Member States of the European Union. This issue is dealt with the rules established in Regulation Brussels IIa. Author thoroughly examines both traditional procedure of recognition and enforcement of judgements, according to the sections 1–3 of chapter III of Regulation, and the summary procedure which does not require exequatur according to the section 4 of chapter III of Regulation. It is stressed that the latter is special and has preference application comparing with the first. Nevertheless, even if a judgement falls under the scope of Article 11(8), a claimant can choose either of these procedures, and the choice of exequatur cannot be considered as not enough protecting the interests of a child. Generally, the abolition of exequatur for the judgement of a competent court of a Member State of origin requiring the return of a child and approved by a certificate should be assessed as a positive step towards free movement of judgements within the European Union. The practice of ECJ concerning the recognition and enforcement of judgements requiring the return of abducted children is also analyzed in the article. Author pays not little attention to the ECJ case No. C-195/08 which is particularly important to Lithuania. It is emphasized that mistakes while interpreting and applying the provisions of Regulation as often as not cause threat to the particularly important rights and interests of a child, therefore it is recommended for the courts to be extremely careful and regard the practice of ECJ, as well as the legal doctrine concerning the application of provisions of the Regulation.
