The application concerned a little girl born in 1996 in Germany to married parents. In December 2003, a German court granted a divorce to the parents on the basis that the parental rights would be jointly shared by both parents, the child would live with her mother, and the father had visiting rights.
On June 14, 2004, the mother left Germany for France with the child. On September 4, 2004, the Rouen Tribunal de premi?re instance [first instance court] dismissed the application for the return of the child. The Public Prosecutor appealed this decision.
