lpv:translated text	". The basis for this report is the Commission’s proposal linking the trafficking of people for purposes of sexual exploitation – prostitution – and the trafficking of human beings for purposes of work – migrant workers. This is not the best way in which to study and address these two serious problems. As a matter of fact, the UN treats them quite separately and rightly so, taking account of their quite different realities and of the different and separate approaches that they require. Nevertheless, the report improves the Commission’s proposal considerably, and tables around fifty amendments, specifically indicating that trafficking in human beings must not just be punished, but that it must be expressly classified as a criminal activity. The report also proposes increasing prison sentences and takes the view that the instigation of, aiding or abetting such activity must also be punished. Another important proposal is to set up a compensation fund for victims of trafficking in human beings, which would be funded from the confiscation of criminals’ proceeds from crime. I think it is also positive that the report reiterates the need to give adequate protection to victims and witnesses, to grant the victims of trafficking temporary rights of residence for the entire period of criminal investigation or trial, including providing adequate accommodation and other support, specifically for reintegration, and the creation of a database of missing persons. These are the reasons why we are voting in favour of the report, although we are sorry that Commissioner Vitorino was not able to accept all of the proposals tabled by the European Parliament."@en1
