lpv:spoken text	"I wholeheartedly support Ewa Klamt’s report on the fight against child exploitation. The report focuses specifically on combating child sex tourism but, as we all know, the issue is much broader than this. Clearly, with new technology and globalisation, child pornography on the Internet, in particular, is an ever-growing international problem. Technology is proceeding faster than individual governments can legislate. Europe can act by strengthening child protection legislation and ensuring adequate child protection, particularly in some of the applicant countries, such as Romania and Hungary. At present, it seems that animals have more rights than children in Europe. I believe we must be vigilant and ensure strong, effective measures are put in place to protect the rights of children in e-Europe. Progress is, of course, being made. More and more European money is being given to combat child sex tourism and to increase public awareness about child protection, with a EUR 1 million separate budget line, and the STOP and DAPHNE programmes. But whilst I welcome the positive noises coming from Brussels, it is not enough. Mr President, I am not calling for a nanny-state approach, but simply that, in a civilised society, we recognise the right of children to their childhood. That is too precious to become the plaything of wealthy, western tourists."@en1
