"Madam President, as a mother of four myself I am particularly pleased that we are at last taking action at European Union level against this most despicable type of crime, which is constantly selecting its victims and poses a threat to all our children, because it can reach into the places we believe are the safest, children’s bedrooms, via the realm of the Internet.
Credit is due to Commissioner Malmström for her initiative, and to the Hungarian Presidency for carrying forward negotiations on this important directive almost to completion by concluding the discussion on points of substance. I also congratulate the Polish Presidency on managing to put the dot on the i in a process that has lasted several years. My special thanks, however, go to my colleague Ms Angelilli for her excellent work and her perseverance. I can only hope that Member States will begin the process of transposing the directive into national legislation without delay.
We all know, however, that even the transposition of this directive into national law cannot eliminate child pornography completely. This is why there is room for all kinds of other initiatives targeting websites with illegal paedophile content and identifying the people or organisations behind them, those who support this sort of criminal activity either directly or indirectly, even just by providing server space.
I also want to stress again the need to raise awareness among children, families, and those involved in the care and education of children, regarding the dangers that can materialise from anywhere via modern technologies. I would like to emphasise that nothing can take the place of child care and protection within the family. We cannot afford to sit back; the fight must go on. One only has to think of how new technologies constantly change as they evolve. Child safety must remain a key issue in every EU Member State. We must continue to protect our children."@en1
