"Madam President, it was with great pleasure that I voted for the Sörensen report. I fully approve the contents of the report, but, sadly, I feel that it fails to get to the root of the issue.
The motion for a resolution states that 500 000 people, victims of trafficking in women, enter Europe every year. The true responsibility for trafficking in women lies with the men who take advantage of them in Europe – in the order of 180 million people, according to my calculations. The point I am trying to make in this explanation of vote can also be found on page 11, line 14 of the report, and it is the only line out of the 722 making up the report which reaches the crux of the matter: it states that we must fight for “information and awareness-raising activities with a view to reducing the demand side”. Out of the 7 213 words in this report, a mere handful are dedicated to the truth."@en1
