(AGENPARL) – BRUXELLES ven 09 giugno 2023 This IA supports the proposal for a revision of the 2011 Directive on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims. Overall, it provides a complete and detailed explanation of the problem, of its scope, drivers, and of the need to take EU-level action. It is well-substantiated and relies on the evaluation of the directive conducted in parallel with the IA, stakeholder feedback, comprehensive desk research and recent data from Eurostat. The IA is also transparent on the limits of the data it uses, which is coherent with the specific objective of the proposal to improve detection and monitoring of trafficking in human beings. The IA considers security, social, economic and fundamental rights impacts, but does not discuss relations or cooperation with third countries, which could be relevant due to trafficking’s cross-border nature. The construction of policy options appears to offer a very limited range of genuine alternatives, mainly sub-options that are not systematically compared. Finally, the quantitative cost-benefit analysis would have benefited from inclusion of an assessment of the policy options’ impact on the number of law-enforcement procedures, and on the number of offences prevented.
