"Madam President, I welcome Ms Angelilli’s initiative to raise this subject again for discussion. I have noticed my colleague’s constant concern for sensitive issues affecting children, like this one, and I want to congratulate her for this. I wanted to take the floor in this debate because, unfortunately, in the recent EU Kids Online study, my country features in the increased risk group. The study was carried out with the backing of the European Commission and concerns the amount of time children spend on the Internet unsupervised. Children in Romania, who exceed the average European time of 88 minutes per day, are therefore much more exposed to abuse from cyberspace. I think that cooperation between Member States needs to be strengthened, especially in terms of implementing the legal framework. Cooperation between the police and agencies involved in protecting and educating children is important in order to prevent such behaviour. Child pornography is one of the most common offences committed online, in addition to cases involving the transfer of personal information, cyberbullying and fraud. The general public could play a role in preventing this by simply reporting incidents of this kind. For example, in Romania, FOCUS – the Centre for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children is extremely active. Set up in 2007, it is involved in campaigns to raise public awareness and prevent this problem. At the same time, it runs an emergency number for reporting cases of child pornography and is cofinanced by the European Commission. Finally, I call on Member States to step up their cooperation with third countries to combat this problem globally."@en1
