"The attitude of considering human beings as commodities is a violation of human rights. Trafficking in human beings and prostitution are closely related, since trafficking in human beings supplies prostitution with new women and children. Experiences with the legalisation of prostitution show that it only increases trafficking in human beings. It is therefore ridiculous to differentiate laws about trafficking in human beings from those pertaining to prostitution. Trafficking in human beings is the fastest-growing type of organised crime. Buyers’ demands change, but what they want is unlimited access to women and children, and the market is flourishing. The globalisation of the economy also means the globalisation of prostitution, which is becoming an industry without borders. I would like to stress that if we think that we can combat trafficking in human beings separately from prostitution, we are burying our heads in the sand. It is time for some action across all areas of politics, because the sad numbers of victims show how the action taken up till now has been unable to control this situation. I would like to thank Mrs Prets for her excellent work; and thank you for your attention."@en1
