The European Commission has decided to send a letter of warning to four Member States, including Greece, to ensure that all the requirements of the Child Sexual Abuse Directive are properly incorporated into national legislation.
Directive 2011/93/EU is an integral part of the EU legal framework on combating child sexual abuse and requires member states to introduce minimum rules for defining criminal offenses and penalties in the field of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children, child pornography. and exploitation of children for sexual purposes. It also establishes provisions aimed at strengthening the prevention of such crimes and the protection of their victims.
Greece, as well as three other Member States (Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia) now have two months to respond to the Commission’s arguments. The commission, if it does not receive a satisfactory answer, will send a reasoned opinion.
