Kate and Gerry McCann will go back to the
European Parliament next week in a last-ditch effort to
persuade MEPs to back their
missing child alert system.
The couple visited
Strasbourg in
April and begged for support for a scheme that would
automatically alert police in all EU states as soon as a
child goes missing.
But only a quarter of MEPs have
signed up so far - and they need at least half of the
Parliament's 785 members if it is to become law.
And they need the signatures by the end of
the month.
The McCann's spokesman Clarence Mitchell said: "We remain
confident we will get them. It's normal for
MEPs to wait until the last
minute to.
The family say
Madeleine, four, who vanished in May 2007, may have been
found if there had been alert system.
