lpv:translated text	"Mr President, 10 days ago we launched our campaign against child sex tourism at www.sayno.eu. Every year, thousands of men from Europe, the United States, Australia and Korea travel to poor countries in South-East Asia, Africa and Latin America to take part in this sickening form of tourism, and this almost always goes unpunished. The message we want to convey with this citizens’ initiative is that this is no longer acceptable. The European Union, too, can no longer turn a bind eye to this, and we must strengthen the role of Europol, for example. I am delighted to be able to tell you that, in this very short time, we have already collected 14 000 signatures. The campaign is of course continuing. I should also like to express my thanks for the broad support it has received, including from Members of this Parliament. Not only members of my own group, the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, have signed; I have also seen the names of fellow Members from the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, the Socialist Group in the European Parliament, the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left and others on the list – which is of course most welcome. I should like to take advantage of the presence of the French Presidency here to thank the French Government for the initiatives it has taken in this regard in the past, often in the face of opposition from other Member States. I hope, however, that you are not discouraged by this and will develop further initiatives in these six months, too."@en1
