- Summary
- On 5 June 2002, the Government sent the first report from the Dutch National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings (NRM) to the Lower House . The Government response to this report was discussed during a general parliamentary consultation on 18 November 2003 and during a Continued General Parliamentary Consultation on 25 November 2003 . The second (statistical) report by the NRM was sent to the Lower House on 23 January 2003 .In its third report, the NRM again discusses in depth the state of affairs as regards trafficking in human beings (THB) in the Netherlands and makes recommendations in respect of legislation and regulations, the B9 regulation, victims of THB, victim support and the representation of victims’ interests, research and registration, law enforcement in general (including prostitution), investigation and prosecution and other aspects of THB . Therefore, the recommendations made focus on a broad area of policy relevant for the action to be taken against THB. The NRM’s recommendations are aimed at various ministries, but, by virtue of its content, the report is also directed at a number of other parties (the police, the Public Prosecution Service (PPS), the Immigration and Naturalisation Service [Immigratie- en Naturalisatiedienst (IND)], victim support and reception facilities, etc.). As indicated when presenting the third report, the action plan now before you constitutes the Government’s response to the recommendations made by the NRM.
