It references the Lanzarote Convention adopted by the Council of Europe in 2007, which aims to protect children from sexual exploitation. In 2011, the European Parliament and Council passed a directive against child sexual abuse and pornography, leading EU member states to criminalize 'grooming'—the act of enticing children for sexual purposes, often online.
