Intro

Strasbourg, 11th of March. The European Socialists and Democrats today in Strasbourg backed a European Parliament resolution calling on EU governments to do their job and keep up the fight against child abuse on the Internet, avoiding ineffective and dangerous shortcuts such as handing over the investigation to Internet service providers.

The video includes extracts of the plenary voting session, stock shots and soundbites with Birgit Sippel, S&D spokesperson on civil liberties, justice and home affairs.

3. BIRGIT SIPPEL (S&D MEP, SPOKEPERSON ON CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS) SAYING (ENGLISH):

“The aim of the resolution is first of all to force member states to do their work, because we already have a directive from the year 2011 on fighting child abuse and fighting the distribution of pictures over the Internet. In 2013, member states should have implemented this law which they had decided to put into effect, and this hasn’t happened up to today, that is why we need this resolution.”

5. BIRGIT SIPPEL (S&D MEP, SPOKEPERSON ON CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS) SAYING (ENGLISH):

“What we do not want is that Internet providers on their own rules and ideas go through all the pictures and websites and decide for their own to delete them or not. So what we want is a close cooperation between Internet providers and public authorities with the police, so that the police can be the first to decide to give the rules, decide what is illegal or not and then give some space for Internet providers to support their work.”

7. BIRGIT SIPPEL (S&D MEP, SPOKEPERSON ON CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS) SAYING (ENGLISH):
