lpv:translated text	"Mr President, when the Commission submitted its proposal, it said that its ambition was to go further than the Palermo protocol did. I am very disappointed at the fact that, instead, the Palermo protocol has been watered down. I believe that it is incredibly important that we really keep separate the definitions of refugees, which after all have nothing to do with this particular matter, and of the exploitation of labour and of sexual exploitation. We now know that roughly 90% of the victims of trafficking in human beings, whom these matters concern, are women whom it is intended to exploit sexually. I realise that the Commission and the Council, just like ourselves here in Parliament, may find it difficult to cooperate on these matters, particularly in view of the fact that there is incredible variation in national legislation. In Sweden, we have had active legislation for eighteen months now that also addresses the buying of sexual services, that is, the clients have been criminalised. We have thus focused on the man instead of stigmatising the person who is prostituting herself. This is to be seen in the light of the fact that a number of the Member States are now legalising brothels and thus also pimping. What this does is preserve stereotypical images of women’s and men’s sexuality and sexual needs. As far as Mrs Karamanou’s report is concerned, I would like to state that if Amendment Nos 3, 5, 6 and 13 are carried, then my group will not be able to vote in favour of the report. The definitions of child pornography that we adopted in the women’s committee are much better. In Mrs Karamanou’s report, the definitions are so wide that there is a risk that we will have to cover up the Maneken Pis in the future."@en1
