lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate the rapporteur on the excellent work which she has presented to us, the good cooperation we developed during the examination of the amendments and for giving us an integrated approach to the problem of juvenile delinquency. Cooperation is needed between all the competent bodies involved with children in order to address this problem, which is not a new problem in human society. It has always existed. Allow me to remind you of something that impressed me as a child, when they told us a story about a convict who was asked who was to blame for the fact that he was a serious offender in jail and he said his mother, to whom he had taken a stolen egg at the age of three and who had accepted it. So it is not the parents who work – the parents always work – who are to blame; it is the parents who have no respect for basic moral principles and values who are to blame, it is the teachers who do not help children to recognise the prime major value of respect for human dignity who are to blame. That is where it all begins and that is what forces us to take measures and we must take measures and of course we must punish – or if the word offends you, let me mitigate it and say we must reprimand – young people so that they learn self-control. Of course self-control is taught, as we have heard, from a very early age and teachers and the institutions to which we entrust our children from a very early age therefore have a responsibility here. Young people must learn to be upright and responsible citizens who can bring their character and skills to bear in the economic and social life of their environment. I am not in favour of an observatory. The Member States must take measures and add special actions with funding mechanisms to combat the problem."@en1
