According to Europol, there are an estimated 10 000 refugee children missing in Europe, and these children are being targeted by pan-European criminal gangs for sexual abuse and slavery. 2. There is currently a lack of a cohesive EU-wide policy or protocol for dealing with refugee children when they go missing. 3. There is a need to ensure that unaccompanied refugee minors are adequately protected in the EU, including by identifying unaccompanied children upon disembarkation, registering them, carrying out a preliminary risk assessment and ensuring referral to the relevant child protection services. 4. Cases of missing refugee children should also be treated with the utmost urgency and seriousness when they are reported to European authorities. 5. The Council and the Commission are urged to make missing refugee children a top priority of the European Union’s migration and refugee policy, and to put a further emphasis on cooperation between Member States to combat criminal gangs that take advantage of these vulnerable children. 6. This declaration, together with the names of the signatories, is forwarded to the Council and the Commission.

  • Letter to Mr Andrea Enria
    Parlamento Europeo 60, rue Wiertz / Wiertzstraat 60 B-1047 Bruxelles/Brussel Mr. Andrea Enria Chairperson European Banking Authority B-1047 Bruxelles Brussels, 14 February 2018 Dear Mr Enria, We, the undersigned Members of the European Parliament, who served on the PANA Committee until the end of its mandate last year and participated in the ad-hoc Delegation to Malta, note reports in the international media [1] [2] that the European Banking Authority has begun a preliminary inquiry into the Maltese bank Pilatus Bank. We welcome this development unreservedly. Pilatus Bank has been singled out for scrutiny in three European Parliament reports in as many months: the PANA Committee of Inquiry’s report of 8 November 2017, the European Parliament’s resolution on the rule of law in Malta of 15 November 2017 and the report of the European Parliament PANA/LIBE ad hoc fact-finding mission report of 11 January 2018. These reports are based on a significant and growing body of leaked evidence from Maltese authorities and first- hand testimony that place Pilatus Bank at the centre of illicit financial flows from Malta’s citizenship-by-investment scheme, the sale of state assets, and unexplained inflows from high-risk jurisdictions like Azerbaijan to Maltese politically exposed figures. As Pilatus Bank is a fully-licensed eurozone bank, which now operates a branch in London in addition to its headquarters in Malta, any proceeds of criminal activity laundered through it contaminate European financial and real estate markets and can have a potentially harmful effect on regulatory and political institutions at both a national and a European level.

  • Political Group Coordinators in Parliamentary Committees
    Political Group Coordinators in Parliamentary Committees Updated February 2017 Each political group in the European Parliament designates one of its MEPs to act as 'coordinator' on any particular Committee. The group coordinator is the main spokesperson for their group in the Committee, and also negotiates for the allocation of Rapporteurs. They assist Rapporteurs and Shadows in the drafting of voting recommendations and decide which substitutes can vote in the absence of full members. They also ensure that MEPs vote at critical times.
