There is a connection between poverty and trafficking in children. The focus must therefore be upon the fight against poverty if it is to be possible to eliminate trafficking in children. The Commission must devise a strategy for fighting poverty and design a common EU policy focused upon prevention, support for, and protection of, the victims and tough punishment of the perpetrators. This also means requiring countries that cooperate with the EU to introduce tough legislation on trafficking in children.
