SOUNDBITE (Italian), Roberta ANGELILLI (EPP, IT), Opens the hearing pointing out some of the interesting advances of the proposed legislation, mainly the objective of fighting against child pornography on line.

SOUNDBITE (German), Petra KAMMEREVERT (S&amp;D, DE), On new media and the need to teach the young children on how to deal with social networks, which information they should reveal and which information should remain confidential; on the importance that children and young people learn early how to deal with the opportunities and the risks of new media, so that they are able to decide from themselves what is good and what is harmful.

SOUNDBITE (English), Marina YANNAKOUDAKIS (ECR, UK), The Commission's definition is that a child should be any person under the age of 18. I think this is too broad scope, we have to make a distinction between a child, who is under the age of consent and an adolescent, who is above the age of consent and under 18 and needs to be protected against sexual exploitation... On the legislative differences between the terms of &lsquo;child pornography&rsquo; and &lsquo;child abuse images.
