GRETA: aanbevelingen aan NL voor hulp aan slachtoffers mensenhandel

The Council of Europe's Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA), published its report with the following issues for immediate action

  • GRETA urges the Dutch authorities to adopt a new National Action Plan against THB as a matter of priority and to support it with the necessary budgetary resources (paragraph 26);
  • GRETA once again urges the Dutch authorities to ensure, in line with Article 12 (6) of the Convention, that assistance provided to foreign victims of THB is not linked to investigations or prosecutions being pursued (paragraph 130);
  • GRETA once again urges the Dutch authorities to take additional steps to ensure that, in compliance with the obligations under Articles 10, 12 and 13 of the Convention, all possible foreign victims of trafficking, including EU/EEA nationals, are consistently offered a recovery and reflection period, regardless of the competent authorities dealing with the case. To this end, the Dutch authorities should ensure that the legislation and instructions are harmonised and unambiguous as regards the right of foreign EU trafficking victims to a recovery and reflection period (paragraph 163).
