Senate votes amendment demanding travel documents for children

Children aged less than 10 will have to have their own travel documentation or passports from 2012 according to a change in the law passed by the Czech upper house, the Senate, on Thursday. The move will remove the possibility of young children travelling on their parents' passports. The change meets European Parliament demands aimed at curbing the possibility of children being kidnapped or victims of child trafficking. The amendment still has to be signed by the president.
