".
I strongly support the initiative of the Kingdom of Belgium as an indispensable factor for effective cooperation between Member States with regard to the protection of children from sexual abuse.
The least one can say is that this initiative fills a lacuna, a vacuum – what am I saying! – the gulf there is at present.
Let us consider – and Belgium fully realised the gravity of the matter at the time of the horrifying revelation of the Fourniret affair – at the moment, when a person is convicted in one Member State for paedophile acts and is subject, in that State, to a prohibition on pursuing activities likely to bring that person into contact with children, he needs only to move to another State in order to evade this prohibition!
For the time being, therefore, there is no guarantee that a disqualification handed down in one Member State has any legal effect in the other Member States. In the face of an appalling situation, it was time to establish a system which requires the State of residence of the person convicted of sexual offences against children to recognise the prohibitions handed down abroad and to apply them within its own territory.
I am convinced that this text will save children from the worst kind of horror."@en1
