lpv:translated text	"It is obviously a good thing if the Commission has re-thought this issue. It would be devastating if support for the work on combating child sex tourism were to be withdrawn. That cannot reasonably be the EU’s policy. Every year, more than one million children are forced into prostitution. These children are increasingly exploited by tourists and businessmen who, remarkably often, come from Europe. The fact that the major paedophile scandal in Belgium is now no longer making the headlines in the media does not, of course, mean that the child sex trade has disappeared. Support for ECPAT is incredibly important. It is completely in line with the Council’s 1999 decision concerning efforts to combat child sex tourism and with the resolution adopted by Parliament as late as March of this year. To withdraw support for this work would therefore be to go both against the Council’s and Parliament’s demand for priority to be given to the fight against the child sex trade. How the Commission is to solve the problem is, I think, a matter still to be resolved, but the main thing is that this important work should continue to receive support from the European Union."@en1
