"Mr President, it is a matter of deep concern that, yet again, the European Parliament has not been consulted on the Council’s intended action plans for the prevention of and fight against organised crime. The European citizens, who, every day, live through the drama of all forms of petty and serious crime – from international drug trafficking to the sexual exploitation of children, from the trafficking and exploitation of human beings to illegal immigration – who live in towns which are unsafe or even dangerous, would like to be able to express their opinions and to lay claim, democratically, through their representatives at the European Parliament, to their rights and priorities of security and the fight against crime. Most importantly, Parliament should be able to give a voice to the defenceless, and I am referring to the many children who are victims of violence or sexual abuse and the many adolescents who are ensnared by drugs. Clearly, the fight against the sexual exploitation of children and that against drugs – to quote but two examples – are genuinely extremely difficult tasks, but they are priority issues, and it is certainly not acceptable, as the Council advocates, for priority to be dictated by feasibility rather than urgency"@en1
