"Sexual abuse and exploitation of children are horrendous crimes that need to be combated and prevented. This report proposes certain instruments for doing this, some of which are appropriate and positive. However, provisions have been introduced alongside these about which we have major reservations and concerns, such as those enabling access to certain websites to be blocked. Of course, we agree that the circulation of images of child abuse and pornography on the Internet should be rigorously fought and halted, but this can only be done effectively by removing this material at source. The provisions included in this report do not offer full or sufficient assurances that blocking websites – the possibility of which is appearing for the first time in EU legislation, thus setting a precedent – will not open the way for forms of censorship of the Internet and other areas. It is also important to mention that the issue of the sexual exploitation of children cannot be dissociated from these children’s social conditions, as it is known that children from families in poverty face a greater risk of being targeted by this kind of crime. These causes should also be rigorously combated."@en1
