- Mr Hammarberg shares his experiences in promoting the rights of children, explaning the shortcomings that exist as children still remain unprotected from being sexually abused. He points out that "The problem is even wider because many of the abuses take place in the families themselves and there we have a tendency of taboo, people don't want to talk about it..(..) There is a need to ensure that personnel who see signs of sexual abuse, like teachers, health personnel, social workers and the police, that they report on what they have seen so that there is a possibility to protect individual children." He also emphasises that the Network of Contact Parliamentarians could have a major role in lobbying for the ratification of the Lanzarote Convention, and he explains the importance of educating children, so that they are aware of the risks and dangers they might encounter.

Talking about sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children, she points out that: "There is still a denial of the problem. People just do not want to admit that this phenomenon exists and that it often occurs in the family environment. (...) There cannot be excuses; the facts are there; it is a real phenomenon". She also explores the main difficulties faced by Parliamentarians in convincing their governments to sign and ratify the Lanzarote Convention, and why the help of contact parliamentarians is crucial in stepping up the pace to mobilise actions against sexual violence.

She points out: "By raising the level of importance of this problem, I believe that the Mexican children will be well protected ... not only within the family but especially in the field of pornography, grooming, and sexual tourism. I feel that in doing this, we need to work together, starting with the family". She then goes on to share her future plans to further promote the Campaign at all levels of Mexican society.

Mme Bonnet décrit la situation actuelle en France: les médecins se trouvent dans une situation délicate lorsqu'ils doivent choisir de signaler ou non les cas suspects d'abus sexuels d'enfants. Soit ils signalent les cas suspects et risquent des représailles juridiques, soit ils ne le font pas et courent le risque d'être condamnés pour ne pas avoir signalé un cas suspect. Seuls les médecins qui sont fonctionnaires ont une obligation de signalement.

She explains that the figure "one in five" is an estimated figure, based on the recent studies and research in this field in Europe and from data available from UNICEF, International Labour Organisation and World Health Organisation. She adds that there are two main reasons why is so difficult to obtain a clear picture of sexual violence against children. Firstly, child victims of sexual violence find it a taboo to talk about what has happened to them, for this reason, Ms Levamo emphasised that it is necessary to empower children to be able to speak up and seek help from someone who they trust. Secondly, as she points out "in order to have more data we have to have the member states to invest in the methodologies, in making sure we have enough capacity to understand, and by having more data (...) the member states are able to implement policies better and they are abl...

- In the monitoring report on local democracy in the Czech Republic discussed on the occasion of the 22nd Session of the Congress, the two rapporteurs Emil Calota, Romania (L, SOC) and Philippe Receveur, Switzerland (R, EPP/CD) praised the progress made by the Czech Republic in fostering local democracy since the previous recommendation (2000), including the creation of a regional tier of government. Nonetheless, they drew attention to the highly centralised system of financing and also to the fragmentation and high number of municipalities, which is an issue for the proper delivery of local government services. They recommended the government to simplify the overall system of administrative supervision by the central government and to institutionalise, by a specific law, the mechanism of consultation with local and regional authorities on matters concerning them directly.

The recommendation calls on the Portuguese authorities to give local authorities more autonomy with respect to local taxes and to ensure effective participation by municipalities in the legislative process to reform the 2007 Local Finance Act.

The report, presented by Francis Lec (SOC, France), was produced following two monitoring visits in September and November 2011. While calling, in its recommendation, on the Moldovan authorities to ensure that local authorities were allocated resources commensurate with their responsibilities and to adopt a new law on the status of the capital, Chiºinãu, the Congress believed that the efforts of the Republic of Moldova should be encouraged, so that the good intentions expressed by the authorities would be translated into action in the future.

La Chambre des régions du Congrès du Conseil de l'Europe a invité Abdelkébir Berkia, ancien président du Conseil régional de Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaer (Maroc) à faire un point sur les progrès de la régionalisation dans ce pays. Comme il l'a rappelé, le Maroc dispose certes depuis 1960 de 7 régions économiques, mais celles-ci n'ont pas été dotées d'attributions suffisantes. Désormais, il est prévu que le projet en cours de discussion au Parlement les dotera de compétences et de moyens, dans le cadre d'une régionalisation qui s'effectuera « dans le respect de l'Etat », et concernera l'ensemble du territoire, y compris le sud et le Sahara.
