Summary
Bearing this in mind, "Europe against Trafficking in Persons" was organised by the ODIHR, in co-operation with the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to raise awareness about the situation of trafficking in human beings in countries of destination and to exchange good practice in the fields of prevention, prosecution and protection. By bringing together a wide variety of actors, the conference's six working group sessions also aimed to develop new recommendations for enhanced co-operation and a better legal framework to address trafficking. As a result of the working groups' expert interventions and lively discussions, a wide variety of recommendations for the legal framework, as well as for follow-up activities, were generated
