"Madam President, today we are debating a very important report, into which the both the rapporteur and other colleagues have put a lot of effort, because the sexual exploitation of children is the most serious and cruel crime committed against children, in which the sexual abuse and physical and psychological suffering experienced traumatise children for the rest of their lives and have an irreversible impact on their personal development. Such crimes are also a dirty business that profits from exploiting children as sex objects, torturing and abusing them. It is therefore very important for this directive to make the penalties for such crimes more severe throughout the territory of the European Union because then individual Member States will be unable to give child abusers lighter sentences. We need to punish online grooming and sex tourism and it is also very important to strengthen victim protection. This directive sets great store by crime prevention such as education, training for officials working in this area and cooperation with relevant civil organisations. We must educate children and parents about the dangers lurking online. It is very important to provide victims and their families with psychological and other kinds of help. I would like to stress that, during an investigation, it is important for there to be cooperation between the police, non-governmental organisations and providers of social services so that child victims obtain the appropriate help and support. It is also very important to properly train specialists, teachers, psychologists, social workers and lawyers to participate in this work, particularly in the area of victim prevention and protection. Indeed I agree with my colleagues who spoke previously and who agree unanimously that all European Union Member States must be obliged to remove material placed on Internet servers throughout the entire territory of the European Union. This means that we can only achieve results by working together internally and with other European Union Member States, and by cooperating with third countries."@en1
