Commission Staff Working Document

This mid-term report takes stock of how the EU Strategy towards the eradication of trafficking in human beings 2012-16 has been implemented, from early 2012 to the third quarter of 2014. The report includes work carried out through cooperation between EU institutions, agencies and bodies, Member States, civil society organisations and the private sector. It covers action taken within the EU and in cooperation with non-EU countries of origin, transit and destination. The report starts by* briefly presenting the legal and policy context* in which the EU Strategy is being implemented. It then sets out the progress made on the Strategy’s four key priorities: A. Identifying, protecting and assisting victim of trafficking; B. Stepping up the prevention of trafficking in human beings; C. Increased prosecution of traffickers; and D. Enhanced coordination, cooperation and policy coherence. Progress made in relation to the fifth priority (Increased knowledge of and effective response to emerging concerns relating to all forms of THB) is covered under each of the key priorities. The report ends by pointing to next steps, in line with the Strategy. The report emphasises the Commission’s efforts to implement the EU policy framework on THB in a coordinated manner across all relevant policy fields and actors. It thus includes a section on the steps taken since 2012 under the 2009 action-oriented paper (AOP) on strengthening the EU external dimension on action against THB. The report also includes an annex on the important work of seven EU justice and home affairs agencies to address THB, on the basis of the joint statement signed by the heads of the agencies on the occasion of the EU Anti-Trafficking Day on 18 October 2011.
