"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the sexual abuse and exploitation of children is becoming notably widespread in the Member States of the European Union. This worrying fact is facilitated by the use of new technologies, especially the Internet. Children of both sexes are affected by these attacks, although the majority of reports relate to crimes against young girls. I think the European Union needs to set itself up with a legislative framework that can condemn these despicable acts and harmonise the criminal laws of the Member States. Recognising phenomena such as grooming, introducing a definition of sex tourism, creating telephone helplines sponsored by the Union, and blocking and removing images from websites to avoid abused children being repeatedly victimised are all measures that are on the right track to help combat this situation, which we must deal with firmly and decisively. I would therefore like to pay tribute to the rapporteur, Ms Angelilli. Lastly, I think it is essential to support the development of facilities to provide assistance to victims, as well as roads to rehabilitation for offenders. The role of women needs to be put back at the heart of this process, since women are the main carers in families and in society, including by toughening up the legislation in force in Member States and harmonising punishments."@en1
