lpv:translated text	"Madam President, human trafficking is a very serious violation of human rights. It is mainly women and children who are, by various false pretences, recruited into it, thereafter being exploited in slavish dependence. In many cases, those who end up in prostitution are victims of human trafficking, and they are treated like . We must protect them from this, both in and outside of the Community, with all the means we have at our disposal both in the corrective and preventive spheres. This means that these modern slaves who are caught up in this vicious circle must be actively given the opportunity of breaking out of it and starting afresh. We must also prevent people from ending up in that in the first place. Prostitution is not a normal industry, in which work is carried out, and so it should not be treated as one. Clients of prostitutes do not buy services, but take advantage of other people’s bodies. That is a form of violence and should, in my view, be punishable in the same way as other forms of violence. Penalising prostitutes’ clients is the best way of preventing human trafficking. I should like to thank Mrs Prets for her report. The amendments I tabled are meant to add detail to it, and I hope that my fellow Members can accept them."@en1
