Summary: First progress report on the implementation of Directive 2011/36/EU - also known as the Anti-Trafficking Directive. It was published by the European Commission on 19 May 2016. Further information: Directive 2011/36/EU lays down minimum common rules for determining offences of trafficking in human beings and punishing offenders. It also provides for measures to better prevent this phenomenon and to strengthen the protection of victims. This is the first Commission report since the adoption of the Anti-Trafficking Directive. The report is divided into three main sections: trends in trafficking in human beings, results of specific anti-trafficking actions, and statistics provided by the Member States. It is accompanied by a staff working document that provides detailed and comprehensive factual information complementing information included in this report. Furthermore, the report examines action taken by the Commission and any other relevant stakeholders under the EU strategy towards the eradication of trafficking in human beings 2012-2016. The findings of this report are used to highlight the Commission's policy orientation and will feed into the development of a post-2016 strategy on trafficking in human beings to be published later in the year. |
