Does anyone have any decent reference to this? All I can find is articles from blogs which are not quoting any official source on this matter. There has to be some official paper to read somewhere...


I’ll just reply myself, maybe I’m not the only one having missed the original story (dates back to November 27 2008): http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/0...


Thanks for posting this. Unfortunately it doesn't really add much detail. Have you had any luck in tracking down more details?

There are some gems though, "According to recent reports, images of sexually abused children available on-line quadrupled in the last five years and half of all internet crime involves the production, distribution and sale of child pornography."

I can easily believe the first figure of a quadrupling over the past 5 years but I find the second figure highly suspect.


No, unfortunaly I haven’t been able to find anything else beside that article, I gave up shortly after that. If someone is familiar with the UK law and politic system they could look for further info on that side, as it seems it is something brought up (and affecting?) only the UK (beside the fact it’s the EU financing this project).
