In contribution to the EU Ministerial Conference 19-20 October 2009, Brussels
As draft input for the Ministerial Conference “Towards global EU-Action against Trafficking in Human Beings”, Brussels, 19-20 October 2009, this paper elaborates on the collaboration required between countries of destination and origin to ensure that every step undertaken serves the best interest of the child. For the purpose of this paper the perspective of the countries of destination will be limited to EU Member States. Based on the field experience of the organisation, the paper will highlight the existing practices in the implementation of relevant EU legislation and policies by confronting it to what should occur from the perspective of ensuring the protection of child rights. The expectation is that the paper will serve also as recommendations to all actors involved both within EU Member States, but also in third countries, where the children are trafficked from.
