lpv:translated text	"Mr President, after complimenting Mrs Karamanou and Mrs Klamt on their fine work, I would like to make two comments, one general and the other institutional in nature. As regards reflections of an institutional nature, it seems to me that cooperation between Parliament and the Commission on this very sensitive issue is making significant, excellent progress. That is far less the case, though – and here I agree entirely with Mrs Terrón i Cusi – when it comes to the Council. We are dealing with an extremely sensitive issue, an issue that is of fundamental importance to our society. It is important for there to be an interinstitutional relationship which can give concrete form to the guidelines so well specified in these two reports. For the first time since the Charter of Fundamental Rights was adopted at Nice, we have the possibility of converting a policy document into a legal document and implementing Article 24. My general comment is that, on such a delicate issue, so well addressed in these reports, we are faced with a society where, increasingly, we see a creed taking root which is very close to a sort of new nihilism. A whole series of personal and interpersonal relationships have been greatly disturbed. We imagine that by giving our children everything they ask for, through the benefits of consumerism – I say this as a father – we are giving them some kind of happiness. We should think carefully about the decisions we take as a European Parliament. The European Parliament synthesises the tensions present in society. The issue we are now dealing with, the exploitation of children, which pervades all societies from the most to the least developed, needs to be dealt with through legislation, as we are now doing, but also in general sociological and societal development terms."@en1
