“The European Commission will provide up to 427.000€ of funding for the activities of a European Financial Coalition against child sexual abuse content on the Internet,” announced today Jacques Barrot, Vice-president of the European Commission in charge of Justice, Liberty and Security.
The coalition – led by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre (the UK’s dedicated policing organisation for protecting children from sexual exploitation) and funded by the European Commission, – is a public-private informal group including the police authorities, financial operators, internet service providers, NGOs and other partners, whose aim is to work together in the fight against child pornography.
