"International law sets high standards for the protection of children, yet its implementation at national level often falls short of its objective of ensuring that they are adequately protected. National legislation makes up for some of these problems, to varying degrees, but it is not sufficiently rigorous or consistent to provide a vigorous social and criminal law response. The new directive should ensure that there is a comprehensive legal framework covering the following aspects: repression in terms of the effective, proportionate and prohibitive punishment of sexual abuse and exploitation of children by introducing stiffer penalties and new kinds of criminal offence; increased protection for victims through adequate and ongoing assistance, always with a view to the child’s best interests; and prevention through prohibitive measures, reduced demand and measures to reduce the risk of children becoming victims. Adequate and effective research techniques and instruments are also necessary, as are initiatives to raise awareness and provide education, along with the creation of help lines or emergency hotlines. However, it is imperative that the policy objectives set out by the Commission in the EU strategy on the rights of the child also be translated as quickly as possible into concrete action."@en1
