I'm going to turn the floor to Professor FEG Madam President.

I can only once again confirm what Doctor MELCIOR was just saying, and indeed you said it yourself.

Our great gratitude, wholehearted gratitude that you entrusted us with this difficult task.

The whole process was quite stressful, but it was also an inspiring experience.

I would also like to thank Marta Gonçalves who were the youth representatives on the Better Internet for kids plus panel discussion that took place in Portugal.

Marta was a peer advisor and she fed into the work that went into our report.

So in other words, young people were part of this process and helped us to design it.

Not all children develop in the same way,

we know that because we are child psychiatrists ourselves and risk is not evenly spread.

Nonetheless, we decided that we would adopt a principle.

You talked about the different developmental stages and we felt that it would be important to take those into account.

Let me turn now to our key recommendations. First of all, age appropriateness.

From 0 to age 2, we recommend, as the President has already said.

That until the end of the 2nd year of life, so up to the age of 3,

there should be no screens at all for children from 3 to 12, so to pre-puberty.

Children should only be online where they are accompanied by parents or teachers and for a limited time frame.

Social Media plus, and they should also have internet appropriate devices for themselves.

And also we should support activities for children in real life, in the real world,

and keep a close eye on which images and videos are being seen by children within social media plus,

and I'm deliberately using that broader term there.

Development of independence and autonomy is very important to adolescents, and that's why between the ages of 13 and 18 we want adolescents to have increasingly independent access to what's on offer within Social Media Plus,

but that access, as Maria already said, has to be safe by design or perhaps safe by default, we could say.

EU wide limitations for children under the age of 13 is a key recommendation.

On the basis of the evidence that we have,

we would recommend an EU-wide harmonization of an introduction of an age restriction for access to Social Media Plus for children under the age of 13.

In the EU member states, there are different cultural contexts and so there's a broad discussion about additional precautionary measures that could be taken,

limiting access to social media, plus for young people who are older than 13.

But for all age-based access, there has to be a proportionate,

effective and safe form of parental supervision. The president already said.

That we had a pilot project in the EU member states, you talked to that point,

and there are very direct and tangible proposals coming out of that.

Country specific additional precautionary limitations for those over the age of 13 could provide an incentive to come up very quickly with ideas that are safe right from the very outset,

which is what we want as an overarching aim. As you've already said. We are shifting the burden of proof.

The Social Media plus have to become safe in the long term, so it's no longer the responsibility of those who have to keep an eye on what's happening, what's on offer within Social Media Plus,

it's the Social Media Plus providers who have to demonstrate that their content is age appropriate and safe,

and only then will they within the internal market have access to children and young people.

We would like to strengthen the existing monitoring system for supervision.

To make sure that all legislation is being adhered to and that that is being checked,

and existing provisions must also be strengthened going forward.

Complaints mechanisms, consumer rights, assistance to consumers where they want to make a complaint, that has to be improved as well.

Any complaints made by children and young people have to be taken on board as a priority. Further research is also urgently necessary.

If we compare to what's happening in the USA, Europe needs its own long-term research so we have more accurate.

Provisions about what's going to happen with social media, plus and we can take the right decisions.

We know that there's a change in behavior.

We know that that type of change in behavior within society takes time.

There's a whole ecosystem around children and that has to change. And yet we don't have that time.

Children and young people are already now today exposed to severe risks on inappropriate content that they are seeing on social media plus.

And that's why we need immediately, a long-term solution.

Against any sexual abuse of children and unappropriate content online. I agree with you entirely.

At the very first meeting of the special panel, you said that if anything is forbidden and prosecuted in the real world that.
