Of course not; not as in your example.
You either cite the exact text, or you show how you've changed it. Is that much truly not obvious?
That is more, not less important when - as here - the original text is unclear.
"Trafficking in children from (anywhere) in countries of the European Union…" is broadly comprehensible only from assumed context, not from the text itself.
("… I wrote actually I only need it…" means what, please?)
