- During today's Mini-Plenary Session of the European Parliament, MEP Marusya Lyubcheva, backed by four MEP signatories, will launch a "Written Declaration (n. 50) on combating the trafficking of children".
The Declaration is calling on EU Member States to recognize the fight against child trafficking as a priority in national child protection policy, to enhance transnational cooperation, to support authorities and NGOs to shape adequate responses to prevent, protect and provide adequate treatment to victims. To become official, this Declaration must get 400 signatures out of the 785 MEPs by October 2008.
