". − I voted in favour of this important resolution on protecting children in the digital world. The growing popularity of social networking means that children spend more and more time online. Statistics also show that young Europeans spend up to 40 hours a week in front of the television. They are online 88 minutes a day (2 hours for 15-16-year-olds), starting on average at 9 years of age but in some cases much younger, even before they start schooling and reading. 77 % of 15-16-year-olds and 38 % of young people aged 9-12 are registered on Facebook and need protection from the dangers of the virtual world. For this reason I am happy that the European Parliament has passed the resolution calling for the combating of harmful content and ensuring that the internet is safe for children. We, the Members of the European Parliament, would like to encourage the EU Member States and the European Commission to present a common position and policy guidelines on the protection of children on the internet as soon as possible as well as prepare a proposal regarding a single, common framework directive on the protection of children in the digital world that would summarise all the provisions relating to children that were set out in EU legislation adopted previously. It is especially important that all EU Member States take urgent action to ensure the protection of our young generation in the digital world and increase youth awareness of the limits of their privacy and the dangers that they face on the internet when they incorrectly assess information that they receive and reveal personal information."@en1
