"Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, human trafficking is without doubt a heinous crime, but it is also a crime of transnational proportions. Eradicating it requires international cooperation between Member States and third countries, with a pre-eminent role for the EU institutions. We must overcome the exploitation inherent in prostitution, illegal labour and micro-criminality. However, talking about human trafficking without talking about organised crime would be to take a partial approach to such a worrying phenomenon, since human trafficking is very often controlled by organised crime. In the last few days we saw the establishment of the Committee on Organised Crime, Corruption and Money Laundering (CRIM), of which I am the rapporteur. One of our guiding principles and political priorities will no doubt be to make the very most of our work so as to achieve greater collaboration and cooperation with third countries, because we think that regular and legal migration should be encouraged, while illegal migration should be countered strongly and – if we can manage it – eradicated. We therefore need bilateral agreements between the EU and individual third countries on regulating migratory flows, protecting basic freedoms through strong guarantees, and the involvement of Europol and Frontex in particular. All of which must be done in the pursuit of two principles – solidarity and responsibility – without which there is no way there will be any progress. That is also the overarching direction that we will be giving to the CRIM Committee, and the fact that a directive shortly to be transposed in all the Member States is an essential tool in the fight against human trafficking tells us just how much difference a strong European approach could make to this worrying and ongoing phenomenon."@en1
