Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Cautions against the use of the expression "child sexual abuse materials" as a replacement of the wording "child pornography" - the latter as defined in Recital 9 of Directive 2011/92/EU; points out that, while on the one hand the expression "child sexual abuse materials" correctly aims to underline that this material is always abusive in nature because it relates to minors, on the other hand, in legal terms and as enshrined in international instruments, the wording "child pornography" appears to have a wider scope and therefore to be more protective of children, since it not only relates to the sexual abuse of children, but also includes the production or use of images of children for primarily sexual purposes, with or without the child's knowledge;
