"Mr President, I am putting this request forward on behalf of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament and I do not think the other groups will object. My request concerns the extremely serious situation in Cambodia, where a number of children who had been set free and entrusted by the authorities to an NGO have again been kidnapped by prostitution racketeers, while the staff of the NGO in question have received death threats. The situation is truly very serious. We have already dealt with the pressing business and I think all of the groups are in agreement with keeping Zimbabwe, Congo and Bhopal on the agenda. We do not intend to oppose those topics, but we just ask to be able to address the Cambodia issue within the debate on the preparations for the European Council, to be held on Wednesday, so as to increase awareness in the Council and Commission. We think that this would be the right thing to do, partly in view of the seriousness of the facts. Those children have been forced back into the chain of prostitution, which notoriously serves a European clientele. We therefore believe that dealing with this subject during the debate on the European Council would be an act of great sensitivity and I do not think any of the groups will object."@en1
