lpv:translated text	"( Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, apart from your valued personal commitment, what we have heard is insufficient. In my opinion, Europe needs to adopt two interconnected approaches in order to persevere with this matter. The aim of the first approach must be to break up the vicious triangle linking victims, traffickers and clients. This would certainly require a concrete and binding programme of action: an example of true European cooperation which, as you have said, can exist only in the medium or long term. We shall listen attentively to whatever future course you may suggest to us, bearing in mind that this problem will certainly not go away once the World Cup championship is over. Nevertheless, we must enlist the participation of European citizens in hard-hitting, high-visibility campaigns that have major symbolic significance, so that your wishes in this matter become a political priority for all of us. In this way we shall affirm the idea of a true European people and construct a concept of supranational citizenship. It has to be admitted that this second feature is missing from the Commission’s leadership. Steps have been taken by the political parties with the campaign of the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, by the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, and by Parliament itself; but the Commission has done nothing. The opportunity could have been taken to create a space for self-representation of the Community ethos that we are trying to construct, which provides the ethical framework for our European public space. Europe is not present at the World Cup championship. That weakens the very communication plan that the Commission has proposed with great ceremony: that is to say, Plan D. I should be concerned to think that the Commission had in fact made no attempts to use its imagination and commitment, thinking that it would be unseemly to spoil the party – a party that involves so many economic and advertising interests. Perhaps the Commission thinks that the party should not be used to make millions of spectators understand the need to apply the framework law that provides for the indictment of those who coerce individuals into prostitution. If that were the case I should be concerned; but I hope that things are not as I have described. Commissioner, I hope that you will help us in this matter and also make some symbolic gestures. For example, you too could hold up the red card before going to support your team and mine."@en1
