EU Legislation, Initiatives, etc.
Home Office: Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, has announced her intention to ratify the Council of Europe Convention against Trafficking by the end of 2008. Previous actions include the agreement of a provisional implementation plan by the Inter-departmental Ministerial Group on Trafficking in July, the development of models of victim support and the piloting of a victim identification process under the police-led, multi-agency anti-trafficking operation, Pentameter 2.
The Home Office also hosted, with the Council of Europe, a conference in London designed to share experience of implementing the Convention.
