Dear President\u00a0Tajani,<\/p>\n

Yesterday I received documents under Regulation 1049\/2001 in relation to correspondence between the EP and Euradopt regarding the collaboration of the EP\u2019s Milan office and Euradopt.<\/p>\n

Here the link to the documents I received:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.asktheeu.org\/en\/request\/euradopt_2018?nocache=incoming-17471#incoming-17471<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out that Euradopt violated the rules and procedures of the European Parliament.<\/p>\n

After having been informed that they you decided that they did not qualify for the Patronage, they turned to the EP\u2019s office in Milano.<\/p>\n

The EP\u2019s office \u00a0seems to have been misled. There was no European dimension, and no participation of a Member of the European Parliament.<\/p>\n

I note that the Opinion of the Proposal for a decision was: avis incertain (uncertain opinion):<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue was very controversial in the past in EP debates. The promoter have international contacts but in the detailed programme we received, there is no explicitly reference to the EU and EP guidelines and actors (program uploaded on GEDA). We leave the decision to the CP.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Amici dei Bambini was expelled from the Euradopt2018 conference by the Italian authorities.<\/p>\n

This was \u00a0the result of the documentary THE TRAFFICKERS \u2013 The Dark Side of Adoption, which exposed child trafficking in Congo committed by Amici dei Bambini.<\/p>\n

This documentary can be watched on Netflix in Belgium and many other countries<\/p>\n

THE TRAFFICKERS:<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/80175290<\/a><\/p>\n

In the documentary EU civil servant Roelie Post blows the whistle.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0would like to also remind you of the whistle-blower letter of Mrs. Post that we handed over to the legal adviser (Oliver Dreute) of then President Schulz in February 2016, and to which no reply was given (attached). Mr. Dreute told\u00a0me that he felt the European Commission was using the strategy of scorched earth\u2026 destroying any evidence of their aiding and abetting the traffickers.<\/p>\n

I, therefore, would like to hear what the European Parliament can do for a European Commission whistle-blower.<\/p>\n

Please inform me in details about the steps undertaken by you or your predecessor regarding Roelie Post.<\/p>\n

For further details on the recent developments you can listen to the Dutch Investigative radio program ARGOS, Roelie Post: The Life of a Whistleblower. In this documentary also Amici dei Bambini is mentioned.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.vpro.nl\/argos\/media\/afleveringen\/2018\/Roelie-Post.html<\/a><\/p>\n

The issue, which you call controversial, is in fact simple child trafficking and definitely in violation of all EU values.<\/p>\n

ACT has over the years researched the practices of various Euradopt member agencies and exposed them for child trafficking.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

Adoptionscentrum Sweden \u2013 Board Euradopt, and CIAI – Centro Italiano Aiuti all’infanzia which organised the Euradopt conference:<\/p>\n

Manufactured Orphans:<\/p>\n

More you can find in this blogpost here:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.againstchildtrafficking.org\/2018\/05\/hello-traffickers-meet-the-parents\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The issue became controversial because of the influence and relations of Amici dei Bambini and Francois de Combret (Solidarite Enfants Roumains Abandonnes) who have their influence on\u00a0 the European Institutions.<\/p>\n

Their fight: re-open intercountry adoptions from Romania and European Adoption policy ( European market in children)<\/p>\n

Also at least partly due to the above mentioned influence, the European Commission cruxified the Romanian Children File\u2019s Task Manager: \u00a0Mrs. Roelie Post.<\/p>\n

As a result, our NGO \u2013 Against Child Trafficking (ACT) was set up on instigation of the then Secretary General of the European Commission Catherine Day.
\nRoelie Post worked for ACT while being paid by the European Commission. A weird construction.<\/p>\n

Please do read the whistle-blower letter and give a formal reply to Mrs. Roelie Post, which your predecessor failed to do.<\/p>\n

Further hereby I request that you initiate an inquiry into the dealings and wheelings of the former S&D leader Pitella and MEP \u00a0Kyenge, \u00a0concerning the adoption of children from Congo.<\/p>\n

Certainly I request you to take strict \u00a0actions against Euradopt for violating the rules on the use of the EP logo.<\/p>\n

Please inform me about your concrete actions.<\/p>\n

Most importantly as President you have \u00a0to put the record straight on European values.<\/p>\n

Child trafficking is organized crime and needs the political will to fight it. Certainly not aiding and abetting, collaboration of the European Parliament.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to your detailed reply,<\/p>\n

Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n
