lpv:translated text	"Mr President, it is quite incredible to stand in this Chamber – I can hardly call it an Assembly right now – and realise that we, in fact, have an on-going slave trade in the European Union, too – here, where we commend ourselves for creating peace, freedom, democracy and human rights. It is a serious matter that we should have this type of trade, because it is often not even adult women who are affected but near-children and very, very young people. This trade is very closely linked to drugs and money laundering. Presumably, it is different types of mafia which control it. This report is very good. Like the previous speaker, I want to emphasise that we need to see action taken and that police cooperation needs to be developed and more information made available. I am often sceptical about the very large demands, for example with regard to the environment, which are being made of the candidate States. At the same time, I think it would be reasonable to demand that information be provided to the countries’ own citizens, with other information being directed specially at young women. This measure would not, in fact, require large resources, and it is entirely feasible to implement it. I can therefore only appeal to everyone to vote in favour of the report and to go home and work on their own governments, organisations and the media, too."@en1
