lpv:spoken text	". I congratulate my Socialist colleague, Mrs Karamanou, on her report on combating the sexual exploitation of children. Europe must introduce stronger measures to tackle this disturbing subject and ensure that offenders are punished in a similar way across the European Union. We have all heard of awful and tragic cases of child pornography and child exploitation across Europe. We must seek to ensure that history is not repeated. Our children must never again suffer such terrible afflictions and we must do all we can to prevent this. Cooperation should be increased between Member States in the European Union through common penalties for offenders and police services working together across the Member States. Tougher penalties must be dealt out to those participating in the sexual exploitation of children and offenders must not be allowed to get away scot free. Hard measures should be taken against those guilty of exploiting children, as well as those who gain financially or are members of a criminal organisation. Parents who have agreed for a child to engage in prostitution or pornography should also be regarded as criminal offenders. I fully agree with Mrs Karamanou that victims and witnesses should be given better protection and assistance. Financial compensation for rehabilitation is important, but we should remember that you can never buy back innocence. Our children are our most vulnerable citizens and we should make every effort possible to protect them."@en1
