"Forced prostitution is a serious problem for Europe. I am disturbed by the article that appeared in the 8 July edition of the German magazine ‘Der Spiegel’. Although the article recognised the violence and criminality of the environment surrounding prostitution, it made allegations about which I would like to hear a clear response from Commissioner Frattini, German Minister of Justice Zypries and Europol. The article presented biased claims that an estimated 40 000 prostitutes from Eastern Europe have been brought to Germany cannot be confirmed. Moreover, the tone of the article cast doubt on the fact that the World Cup has led to an increase in forced prostitution in Germany. A Europol investigation, data from the European Council and the temporary brothel towns shown on German television can leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that a problem exists. I encourage Commissioner Frattini to treat with the utmost seriousness the promise he made last Thursday – to ensure that a thorough overview of forced prostitution during the Football World Cup is prepared. I therefore await precise information and if necessary the refuting of baseless claims."@en1
