Traduction de «Set-up child » (Anglais → Français) :

– I am strongly committed to the fight against child abuse and, specifically, child sexual abuse. On 29 March 2010, the Commission adopted a proposal for a directive on child sexual abuse and exploitation and child pornography.

The government is announcing that it will set up child care in the other provinces—something we agree with—and although we are happy for them, it must also announce how it plans to right the wrong that stems from the fact that Quebec already has a $5 or $7 a day child care system in place.

Where, under the legislation of the Member State which is competent under Title II of Regulation (EC) No 883/2004, no child-raising period is taken into account, the institution of the Member State whose legislation according to Title II of that Regulation was applicable to the person concerned because that person pursues an activity as an employed or self-employed person at the date when, under this legislation, the child-raising period started to be taken into account for the child concerned, shall continue to be responsible for recognising this child-raising period as a child-raising period under its own legislation, as if this child ...[+++]raising took place in its territory. The obligation under paragraph 2 shall not apply if the person concerned is or becomes subject to the legislation of any Member State due to the pursuit of an employed or self-employed activity.

We are among experts here so perhaps there is no need in this Chamber to list all the urgent problems that need to be tackled: from the marketing of violent video games to the rise in cases of international kidnapping of minors, the red tape that makes international adoptions difficult, the tragedy of the child soldiers, child labour, the failure to register the birth of a child, the remarkable number of disappeared children of which no more is ever heard. I could go on and on.

The EU strategy to combat child pornography also consists of legal instruments and practical measures against computer crime and child pornography. These include the Council Framework Decision on approximation of laws and sanctions in the field of sexual exploitation of children, with particular reference to child pornography on the Internet , and the Council Recommendation of September 1998 on the Protection of Minors and Human Dignity and the Council Decision of May 2000 to combat child pornography on the Internet .

Yet the fall of the Berlin Wall and the ending of the Cold War threw open a devastating picture of child abuse, child neglect, child misery and child hunger and despair such as we have not seen in Europe since the Second World War. Today, with the enlargement of the European Union, the situation has not got better.
