"According to figures from the United Nations Children’s Fund, 1 million children are used in the child pornography industry, generating around EUR 20 billion. In view of the vulnerability of children, concrete measures need to be taken against abuse and sexual exploitation, and the protection of children needs to be ensured by national institutions. The effects of ill treatment are often ongoing, and the physical, psychological and social effects are permanent for the victims and their families. As such, I am voting for this report, which extends the legal concept of a child and an adolescent, so that anybody under 18 years of age has the right to be protected from sexual exploitation, as well as the specific use of terms relating to child pornography, child sex tourism and grooming, in order to criminalise such acts. I also wish to mention removal and blocking measures, preferably to extend outside the jurisdiction of the EU, of Internet sites containing abusive images or child pornography, which the Member States must implement. Criminalisation and prevention are just as important as support and assistance for the victim. As such, all taboos and stigmas attached to suffering abuse and ill treatment need to be removed, so that victims are not afraid to report crimes."@en1
