lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I speak on behalf of the new Italian Socialist Party. As the Cornillet report has rightly shown, tourism has provided developing countries with an important opportunity for sustainable growth. They must, however, make use of this resource with respect for the local peoples’ cultures, individualities, socioeconomic situations and traditions. I want to mention two serious kinds of illegal activities that unfortunately often go hand in hand with tourism in those areas. First of all there is sex tourism, considered the third largest form of illegal trade in the world, which often involves minors and is a shameful but expanding business. Another kind of illegal activity is property speculation, which has involved – and generally spoilt – areas of environmental value and cultural heritage, with the tacit agreement and often even the approval of run-down local authorities. A strong, vigorous initiative is needed from the Community institutions as soon as possible, focusing particularly on funding and legislation to combat these two illicit practices, which are carried on above all by Europeans."@en1
