"Mr. Chairman, All countries are affected by the problem of raising children in a disadvantaged position. Children’s rights and their protection call for an integrated policy. The reduction of the number of institutionalised children is a wonderful goal but, in all countries, there will always be children in need of care by society because they have no parents or they are socially disadvantaged for other reasons. What we need is solidarity with these children and these countries rather than ostentatious clout that degrades their dignity. I call upon the European Commission to undertake the development of special programmes for children in disadvantaged position, taking into account what the Member States have achieved and preventing any attempts at tarnishing their good name. The dissemination of biased information, as is the case with a home in Bulgaria, should not be encouraged. This affects the image of my country. It does not contribute positively to the common European policy. We need programmes for productive education of socially disadvantaged children, regardless of the manner and place in which they are raised; prevention of the exploitation of child labour and the involvement of children in various activities which affect their behaviour negatively."@en1
