"Mr President, Commissioner Vitorino, ladies and gentlemen, firstly, I would like to congratulate Mr Kirkhope. In fact, his name fills us with hope. Mr Kirkhope’s document has lifted the lid on a great deal – a great deal of child suffering and human suffering. We are delighted that there is now a definition at long last.
Secondly, that this phenomenon must be increasingly brought into the open and binding measures must be drafted. This includes setting up contact points, such as those in Belgium and the Netherlands, and also in the other EU Member States and candidate countries. After all, there is quite obviously a correlation between child pornography on the Internet and trafficking in children. This correlation is evident in the countries of origin, the transit countries and the host countries in the European Union. This is also borne out by the studies carried out by police forces in this field with regard to under-age asylum seekers. They disappear on their own, or even accompanied, from asylum centres and reappear within the world of prostitution. This correlation is also evident in the case of possibly kidnapped and missing children. Recently, mothers recognised their own children on a porn website which could be viewed at police stations in France. We also know that details of people’s identity are used or misused by people with connections in the world of child porn websites. In order to conceal their own identity, they use the bank details of others.
In order to stamp out child pornography, we need a multi-disciplinary approach. The police and criminal investigation services must be able to do their jobs well. This means that the politicians need to ensure that the police can do its job effectively. The police within the European Union work differently from the police in some candidate countries, as other MEPs have already pointed out. Politicians too should believe that child pornography exists on the Internet. The NGOs are doing a great job. To finish off, I would like to point out that some pimps use the Internet to distribute photographs of young people engaged in prostitution."@en1
