>>153 Child pornography was criminalised by inclusion in the Criminal Code in 1986. The production, import, carriage, export and stocking of child pornography is a criminal offence. The main aim is to protect children under 16 who are depicted in the pornography. Prosecutions are brought mainly to prevent production, dissemination and public exhibition. Priority is given in this connection to cases involving commercial and professional production. It is not a criminal offence to possess child pornography for non-commercial purposes. The maximum custodial sentence was increased in 1996 to 6 years. Whether possession of child pornography too should be criminalised is under consideration.
