"Madam President, the directive against human trafficking offers more protection for victims and we will now be better able to tackle the perpetrators of trafficking. Unfortunately, however, the fact remains that Member States are still making too little use of the opportunities offered by this directive and, what is more, they still are not doing enough to address prostitution, in particular.
We know that 80% of the women and girls being trafficked end up in prostitution, mainly due to a combination of deception, false promises and corruption. Then they get trapped in the underworld. We must try to get them out, Madam President because, unfortunately, this crime has not yet been taken seriously enough. As a result, European projects intended to warn women and girls or offer them support have hardly got off the ground. We
have to significantly improve cooperation between police authorities, particularly between those in Western and in Eastern Europe.
We should not conceal this crime out of shame and we have to make use of the directive. I call on the Member States to do that and I support the European Commissioner in doing that. Because we need to eradicate these crimes; they are still too likely to take place unhindered and we must continue to fight against that."@en1
