"Mr President, it is now 14 years since the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, on 20 November 1989. Unfortunately, our economies still operate in a way that fails to take account of children’s needs. Child labour still takes place, in Portugal too, where it is estimated that over 4% of children work in various sectors, due to the precarious economic situation of many families. We welcome the important initiatives condemning such practices and protecting children’s rights, specifically the global fight against child labour. I would therefore urge everyone, Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, to demonstrate greater commitment to ensuring that a child’s smile signifies hope for a fairer world, in which child labour does not exist."@en1
