".
The Internet is an integral part of our children’s everyday lives. As they get older, they use the Internet more. From the age of 11, youngsters surf the Internet daily, and by the age of 15, they go online and interact on the web several times a day.
Nevertheless, use of this formidable tool, which is a gateway to knowledge and a springboard to the learning society, is not without risk.
Countless children are thus unwittingly exposed to harmful images or content, such as commercial scams, harassment, pornography and incitement to racism and suicide.
These abuses result in particular from a lack of adequate international regulation and cooperation.
The European Safer Internet Programme, with a budget of EUR 55 million, aims to raise awareness of the dangers of the Internet, not just among children but also among their parents and teachers. It also seeks to promote the development of filtering systems and to encourage the labelling of Internet sites deemed safe for children.
I therefore naturally voted in favour of the report by the Italian Member, Roberta Angelilli, which advocates the use of the Internet in a secure environment, ensuring the full protection of children’s physical and moral integrity."@en1
