lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner Malmström, ladies and gentlemen, the directive on combating child abuse that we are to vote on here is an important and positive step in the fight against the continuing exploitation of numerous children in the European Union and throughout the world. We in the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance are therefore extremely pleased that a workable agreement has been reached between the European Parliament and the Council. Particularly when it comes to such a sensitive and important matter as combating child abuse, it is essential to provide the correct political answers. I am therefore pleased that we have succeeded, after an in-depth debate, in agreeing on a clear commitment to the compulsory deletion of child pornographic content on the Internet, following the procedures of the rule of law. At the same time, it was right for us as Parliament to have persisted in our view that an obligation to block content on the Internet is not the right path to take. It definitely will not help victims of child abuse if we simply erect stop signs in the virtual realm that are easy to circumvent, while abuse and rape continue in the real world. For us it is not an option simply to push this distressful matter out of sight without taking the necessary steps to remove it. Both within the EU and its Member States and also in relation to third countries, this criminal and abusive material must be removed at source. Crime statistics show that most activity does not occur on island states somewhere in the Pacific, but here in Europe, in the US or, for example, in Russia. In view of our close cooperation with these countries, it cannot be asking too much to employ effective methods to prosecute child abuse. If we adopt this directive tomorrow, it will also signify a decision in terms of the direction that law enforcement on the Internet is to take. Instead of blocking infrastructures, which are highly questionable in terms of the rule of law, and arbitrary measures by the providers, we in the European Union want to create an effective framework to combat crime and abuse where is occurs. We do not want merely to sweep the problem under the carpet at the expense of judicial procedures, but to tackle it in an open way. A society must remain vigilant, particularly where abuse is concerned, and work to combat the causes of it outside of the traditional means of law enforcement, too. We now need to make some serious efforts in this regard."@en1
