". The crimes of Marc Dutroux in Belgium and similar atrocities elsewhere have been waiting for a response for years. People who put their personal pleasure, or earning money from the pleasure of others, before the protection of children are a danger to society as a whole. Society must be protected against people who force children into sexual acts and who are even capable of killing those children if they can no longer be used for that purpose. I give my unqualified support to that part of the proposals in the Karamanou report. Unfortunately, in certain other proposals and in the debate in this connection, I have detected a nineteenth-century, Victorian undertone. I get the impression that a number of people who advocate tough measures would, in fact, ideally ban same-sex marriages, nudist beaches, pornographic images and text, sex outside marriage and . I also get the feeling that they want to criminalise parents who, they believe, do not raise their children in a sufficiently prudish manner. You are already committing an offence if you give your children sex education, if other people can see your children naked or if the children can see their parents naked. That is not how you deal with the irresponsible, the profiteers and the criminals; instead you take away newly acquired freedom from ordinary well-meaning people. That part of their objectives will not receive my support."@en1
