lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, my group would also like to thank the rapporteur and the shadows for the good cooperation in difficult negotiations. Whilst we certainly welcome the offence of online grooming being created, I must admit we found the attitude of Council in not wanting to incorporate grooming in all senses into this on the grounds that it already exists in national legislation a little surprising, given that many of the other offences here also exist in national legislation. My group, too, welcomes the inclusion for the first time in EU legislation of sex tourism related to children and the jurisdiction over nationals travelling for the purposes of child abuse, but we also agree with the Commission that it is a pity that we have not been able to find a solution on those enjoying habitual residence. We also welcome the recognition of the need to deal with the associated advertising and facilitation of such travel. We, too, welcome the measures to deal with the exclusion of convicted offenders from employment involving direct and regular contact with children. We welcome the move to make it possible for employers to request information about the potential employees for professional or organised voluntary activities with children, according to national law. Article 25 relating to websites was particularly difficult to negotiate, as has already been said, and obviously the priority be to protect children. However, there are legitimate concerns that measures employed for this crucial purpose become co-opted for other purposes of state control. The solution reached in this directive is important and has the full support of my group. We also welcome support for survivors knowing the tragic consequences that such abuse has for so many children throughout their lives. Finally, we welcome the recognition, too, of the difference for consensual sexual activity between young people, whom we do not want to criminalise for behaviour that may be foolish but which is certainly not exploitative."@en1
