lpv:translated text	". ( ) Mr President, I would like to talk about the child exploitation directive. First of all, I would like to congratulate Roberta Angelilli for her invaluable work. I think we all agree that children are vulnerable persons; this is why they have needs that go beyond normal protection. In the last few years, a number of child abuse cases have been exposed on different levels, all over Europe and worldwide. While such cases are certainly shocking, they serve to make us aware of this problem and its extent. Nowadays, we are more aware of the considerable void that exists when it comes to providing greater protection for our children. Something needs to be done as soon as possible. Child abuse has probably been around since the dawn of time, but only now are we becoming aware of it. In the past, there was no Internet. Although the progress that came with it is undeniable, it has also brought about new ways with which children can be abused and exploited. On the Internet, potential abusers can get in touch with their unprotected victims, often using devious means. Moreover, the Internet allows the mass distribution of pornographic material. The directive on which we will be voting sends a clear message: abuse must end. The directive we will adopt defends children in the way they deserve. As a Member of the European Parliament I shall vote in favour. As the father of two children I am proud to do so."@en1
