21. While welcoming the recent measures to simplify birth registration (government emergency order No. 33/2016 and government decision No. 801/2016) and taking note of target 16.9 of the Sustainable Development Goals on providing a legal identity for all, including birth registration, the Committee recommends that the State party strengthen community-based services to ensure that all children, including those in rural communities, have access to birth registration without delay. 

42. While noting that the State party has acknowledged the issue of children in street situations and has implemented the Street Children Initiative, and with reference to its general comment No. 21 (2017) on children in street situations, the Committee reiterates its previous recommendation (see CRC/C/ROM/CO/4, para. 85) and urges the State party to ensure that children in street situations receive all the needed support, particularly reintegration with family or placement in alternative care, and are provided with health care, education, access to social services, national identification documentation, safe spaces and support, as well as prevention and rehabilitation services in relation to drug abuse.
