Kate and Gerry McCann met Diana in Strasbourg recently as part of the campaign for the introduction of a European version of the US Amber Alert system which enables an early warning to be given via the media across the country when police confirm a child has been abducted.

Diana is a co-author of a Written Declaration in the European Parliament which is urging MEPs to support the idea of a European version of the US Amber Alert system. The Written Declaration was launched in April and by Monday evening (23rd June) had collected the names of 308 MEPs, about 80 short of the number required to sign before it can be presented to the European Commission requesting action be taken. The lapse date is set for 24th July 2008.
