"Madam President, one of the most profitable and despicable organised crimes is the trafficking of human beings: the buying, selling and abusing of vulnerable people with little more respect than that offered to a sack of potatoes.
Shockingly, in the EU, most trafficked people are Europeans. But of course, it is impossible to be accurate about the true numbers who are trafficked. Victims of trafficking are still being prosecuted for crimes that they have been forced to commit rather than being treated as victims, and this adds to their injustice. We have very welcome developments such as the Anti-Trafficking Directive and a most effective and committed Anti-Trafficking Coordinator, but there is still much to do to protect these vulnerable people.
Cross-border policing, joint investigative teams and the work of Europol are all essential, but not enough. We must continue to raise the issue and to educate people to see the signs and report them, in order to make sure that together we can fight these crimes, which are, by their very nature, cross-border and complex."@en1
