"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, clearly I too would like to thank all those Members who have worked on drafting this fine text that is the directive being presented to us. I also welcome the firm political expression found in this text; it manages to balance things in such a way that we are able to protect children in Europe, by taking practical steps to combat the sexual exploitation and sexual abuse they suffer. Finding balanced solutions in a rapidly developing, technologically advanced world, a world that offers us wondrous things but that can also pose serious risks, even despicable risks at times, to everyone, especially to children, is a real achievement. Protecting children, either by removing child pornography websites at their source, if possible, or by blocking them, is one practical solution. Commissioner, you have listed the measures that can be included among the priorities of our policy agenda regarding children in Europe, given that 10% to 20% of European children are victims of sexual abuse, and that, in the current crisis, which is set to last, 19 million children are exposed to the risk of poverty on our continent. I welcome these observations. You talked about the Hague Convention and, therefore, indirectly about legislation to facilitate the implementation of court decisions. I wish to draw your attention to the difficulties that bi-national couples experience with regard to the application of court orders pertaining to the custody of their children, particularly in relation to the issue in Germany."@en1
