CRC/C/ROM/CO/4 page 21 refugee determination status affecting children as well as the principles and procedural guarantees of family unity, non-refoulement, non-discrimination, confidentiality and the benefit of the doubt. However, the Committee is concerned that the Law on Asylum does not extend some special measures to cover separated children, in addition to unaccompanied ones, and that persons with responsibilities for unaccompanied children, including those processing asylum applications, have not been equally exposed to the same training. While welcoming the excellent cooperation among the relevant stakeholders, the Committee notes with concern that the authority responsible for age assessment of unaccompanied children operates without consideration to possible margins of error. 81. The Committee recommends that, while taking into account its general comment No. 6 (2005) on the treatment of unaccompanied and separated children outside their country of origin, the State party: (a) Extend in law and continue to provide in practice specific guarantees for unaccompanied children and separated children; (b) Expand the training throughout the country on child-friendly interview techniques to all decision makers involved in the refugees status determination (RSD) as well as to those acting as legal guardians; (c) Apply the benefit of the doubt concerning age assessment; (d) Ensure that when return of children occurs, this happens with adequate safeguards, including an independent assessment of the conditions upon return, including the family environment. Economic exploitation, including child labour 82. The Committee welcomes the fact that the new Penal Code criminalizes inducing or forcing children to beg by adults, as well as the setting up of a National Director Committee for prevention and combating of child labour, which is to establish specialized child labour units in relevant institutions and take over from the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour of the International Labour Organizations (ILO-IPEC) the elaboration and monitoring of programmes and activities. Nevertheless, the Committee is concerned about the high incidence of child begging. While the Committee notes that the NAPCR can sanction employers found to use child labour and that inspections are being carried out and fines collected from persons found to illegally employ minors between the ages of 15 to 18, not all local inter-sectoral teams created to combat child labour are functional. 83. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Intensify efforts to implement and enforce laws and policies protecting children from economic exploitation, including child labour and begging; (b) Monitor the situation of children involved in all forms of economic exploitation, including child labour, with a view to eliminating such practices, ensure children attend school as appropriate, and protect their health and wellbeing; (c) Collect data on child victims of economic exploitation, including child labour, allowing for disaggregated analysis by activity and follow-up measure taken.
