For the purpose of applying Article 8, the Member State where the unaccompanied minor lodged an application for international protection shall, as soon as possible, take appropriate action to identify the family members, siblings or relatives of the unaccompanied minor on the territory of Member States, whilst protecting the best interests of the child.
Za namene uporabe člena 8 država članica, v kateri je mladoletnik brez spremstva vložil prošnjo za mednarodno zaščito, čim prej ustrezno ukrepa, da ugotovi, ali ima mladoletnik brez spremstva na ozemlju držav članic družinske člane, brate ali sestre ali sorodnike, pri čemer ščiti največje koristi otroka.
