"Mr President, trafficking in women and children as commodities from third countries within the Union for the purpose of sexual exploitation and forced labour is a constantly burgeoning phenomenon. The situation, which has taken on the proportions of a scourge, has preoccupied the Union and the institutions responsible without, however, achieving any substantial reduction in absolute numbers.
In Greece in particular, we have hundreds of children arriving illegally every year, children who do not enjoy any of the rights which adult refugees enjoy, who are housed in mixed centres for both minors and adults, who are detained beyond the stipulated three-month limit and who have no care once they are released.
The lack of systematic identification and recording of minors, the lack of information about their rights in a language which they can understand is reflected in the fact that asylum has not been granted to a single child in recent years. Hundreds of them are roaming around and few reach non-governmental organisations. The modern slave trade, which moves 40 000 women and children a year in Greece alone, must be given our attention and addressed."@en1
