lpv:translated text	"Mr President, thank you, Commissioner, for your answer. As the voluntary organisations say, there is every cause for feeling very concerned about the trade in women and children in the border region between Germany and the Czech Republic, but also in other parts of Europe. This is a major and common problem which also exists in the regions bordering on the other countries that share a frontier with the present and the enlarged EU but that are not members of the EU. I live in northern Sweden, and we have this problem in the region of the Barents Sea. Unlike the Commissioner, I do not believe that the media reports cause the trade to increase. I believe, rather, that it is a question of poverty and of the subordination of women. This promotes the trade in women and children. We must work on an extremely broad front. I also believe that legal prostitution promotes the trade in women and children. I therefore want to see those who buy sex criminalised. I think that this would be a sound way of proceeding. I hear that the Commission and the Commissioner are taking this issue very seriously, and I think this is important. I also wish to draw attention to the Daphne programme. Does the Commissioner believe that the police in the EU countries and the candidate countries are cooperating sufficiently well in order to get to grips with this large problem? Is there progress when it comes to police cooperation?"@en1
