Summary
In the development of the new Strategy the EU should strive to adopt a participatory approach and plan on including consultation with anti-trafficking stakeholders, especially with NGOs. Furthermore the new Strategy needs to be driven by a mechanism which can coordinate action/response across a number of Directorates-General and relate directly with Member States, non-member countries and relevant EU agencies including Europol, Frontex, the Fundamental Rights Agency, Eurojust, relevant international organisations and NGOs and their networks, and monitor the implementation of the EU anti-trafficking policy. Such a mechanism should be headed by the Anti-Trafficking Coordinator.
