lpv:spoken text	". I support this report against the trafficking in human beings. Europe needs to crack down on the trade in trafficking human beings. Human trafficking involves force, violence, deceit and abuse of its victims and is totally unacceptable. Over 120,000 women and children are abducted from Eastern Europe each year to be brought into the EU for exploitation. Not only should this type of activity be punishable, but it should be classed as a criminal offence. I strongly believe there should be common rules for penalties with those guilty facing a minimum prison sentence of six years rising to ten years for more severe cases. All those involved in circles of human trafficking should certainly face stiff penalties, whether they are police officers, customs officials or civil servants. We must not forget the victims' needs and their suffering in all this. They should be given better support, including financial compensation from the confiscated proceeds of crime. The European single market allows borders to be crossed, but we must do all we can to prevent such exploitation of our borders. If we are truly a people's Europe, we must put the people first and protect them from abuses such as these."@en1
