lpv:translated text	"Mr President, to begin with, I want to thank Mrs Sörensen for a very good, interesting and tremendously readable report. We are almost one hundred per cent in agreement in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Equal Opportunities. We would emphasise not only the cooperation from the police which has fed into this report, but also the importance of contributions at all levels of society. There are nonetheless two things we do not entirely agree with. The first concerns the role of the sex industry in this issue. We are, all of us, right across the political spectrum, completely agreed that it is poverty that is the major cause of prostitution and trafficking in women. I nonetheless believe that the sex industry, which is now moreover beginning to register some of its activities on the stock exchange, must be called into question and, in future, also held to account. The other disputed issue is – as always where this subject is concerned – the view to be taken of prostitution. Almost throughout the report, the term prostitution is used. However, the use of this term implies that there is an opposite, that is to say prostitution. That is very strange, especially when we are talking about slavery and trafficking in women. The Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left has tabled a few amendments, some of them on this subject and in connection with which we naturally hope that we shall receive support. I would again thank Mrs Sörensen and all our colleagues. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to be the last time we debate this issue, even though it is so far only the second time we have done so."@en1
