"Madam President, in the current climate, with the economic crisis and job losses in European Union Member States, there is a serious risk of an increase in the exploitation of child labour. Unfortunately, in such a crisis situation women and children are the worst affected by it. Regardless of the sound legislative basis at European level and good solutions at national level, including in the country which I represent, Bulgaria, what goes on in practice does not, in many cases, comply with the law. The problem affects migrant groups particularly severely and the Roma community. Preventive measures are required at every level, along with the tightening of controls on complying with the legislation across the whole of the European Union. Many companies use child labour in spite of the relevant legal restrictions. There are thousands of breaches of labour legislation in Member States. The European Commission must organise targeted initiatives linked to the fight against the exploitation of child labour and call for the control mechanisms to be tightened up during this process. If we are looking to protect children’s interests as part of our European policy, this is an absolute must."@en1
