"Mr. President, Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to an issues that makes us responsible for the future of the European Union and the world at large. This is the trafficking in children.
In the 21
century, the age of high technologies and progress, this problems persists and it is too inhumane and brutal to be ignored or confused with other problems. The trafficking in children does exist. It is an encroachment not only against human rights; it is an encroachment against the future, as well.
The life of any child is a blessing and its destruction is a crime against mankind. The trafficking in children has atrocious consequences. It is called “modern slavery”. What follows is physical and mental mistreatment, sexual exploitation, homicide.
What we need is to join our efforts and cooperate in a common policy to reduce and minimize its existence. The European Commission should set up a separate programme and an action plan within the framework of the strategy for children and to undertake the measures needed for the establishment of common structures and policy."@en1
