Proposal for a directive
Recital 2
(2) Directive 2011/36/EU of the European Parliament and the Council28 constitutes the main Union legal instrument on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting the victims of this crime. That Directive sets out a comprehensive framework to address trafficking in human beings by establishing minimum rules concerning the definition of criminal offences and sanctions. It also includes common provisions to strengthen prevention and protection of all victims, taking into account the gender perspective. _________________ 28 Directive 2011/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2011 on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2002/629/JHA, OJ L 101, 15.4.2011, p. 1–11.

Recital 2 a (new)
(2a) Member States should also note that the offence of harbouring described in Article 2(1) also means that the exploited victims are housed at disproportionately high prices in housing that is not proportionate to the rent. Harbouring therefore also means cases where either the trafficker himself or another landlord takes advantage of the ignorance or lack of alternatives of the exploited victims and makes substantial profits from this. Another landlord does not have to be part of the criminal infrastructure of the traffickers. It is sufficient that the landlord takes advantage of the predicaments that the traffickers have brought about.

Recital 3
(3) The EU Strategy on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings 2021-202529 sets out a policy response adopting a multi- disciplinary and comprehensive approach from prevention through protection of victims, to prosecution and conviction of traffickers. It included a series of actions to be implemented with the strong involvement of civil society organisations. In order to address evolving trends in the area of trafficking in human beings, as well as shortcomings identified by the Commission, and to further step up efforts against this crime, it is necessary, nevertheless, to amend Directive 2011/36/EU. Identified threats and trends, which require the adoption of new rules concern in particular regarding the modi operandi of traffickers, including the commission or facilitation of offences concerning trafficking in human beings by means of information and communication technologies. Identified shortcomings of the criminal law response requiring an adaptation of the legal framework relate to offences concerning trafficking in human beings committed in the interest of legal persons, to the data collection system, and to the national systems aimed at the early identification of, targeted and specialised assistance to and support for victims of trafficking and of the cooperation and coordination at EU level. _________________ 29 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on the EU Strategy on Combatting Trafficking in Human Beings 2021–2025, COM(2021) 171 final, 14.4.2021.

Amendment 70 #
(5) An increasing number of offences concerning trafficking in human beings is committed or facilitated by means of information or communication technologies. T leading to a sharp increase of victims exploited online. The online dimension has become a significant and growing threat in regards to trafficking in human beings as traffickers use the iInternet and social media inter alia toas a method to establish comprehensive trafficking networks, communicate with other traffickers, recruit, advertise or exploit victims, exercise control and organise transport and accommodations. Internet and social media are also used to distribute exploitative materials. Information technology also hampers timely and geographical detection of the crime and identification of the victims and perpetrators. It is therefore important to explicitly include the online dimension of the crime into the legal frameworkin all its aspects and the linkage between the online and offline dimension of the crime into the legal framework in all its dimensions and to address it from prevention to prosecution.

Recital 7
(7) In combatting trafficking in human beings, full use is to be made of existing instruments on the freezing and confiscation of proceeds and instrumentalities of crime, such as Directive EU/XX/YY of the European Parliament and of the Council [Proposed Directive on asset recovery and confiscation]30 . The use of frozen and confiscated instrumentalities and proceeds from the offences referred to in Directive 2011/36/EU to support victims’ assistance and protection, including compensation of victims, should be made a priority. Member States should, to that effect, establish a national victims fund based on the confiscated assets and Union trans- border law enforcement counter-trafficking activities, should be encouraged. _________________ 30 COM (2022) 245.

(8) In order to enhance the national prevention capability to identify victims at an early stage, and to refer them to the appropriate and specialised protection, assistance and support services, it is necessary to establish by laws, regulations or administrative provisions National Referral Mechanisms in the Member States. Establishing formal national referral mechanisms and appointing national focal points for the referral of victims are essential measures to enhance cross-border cooperation and coordination.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 10
(10) The collection of accurate and coherent data and the timely publication of collected data and statistics are fundamental to ensure full knowledge on the scope of trafficking in human beings within the Union. Introducing a requirement for Member States in cooperation with relevant EU Agencies to collect and report to the Commission statistical data on trafficking in human beings every year in a harmonised way is expected to constitute a relevant step to enhance the general understanding of the phenomenon and to ensure the adoption of data- informed policies and strategies. Due to the importance of having up-to-date statistical data as soon as possible it is appropriate to determine the date of the application of the article on data collection at the earliest point in time, which is the entry into force of this Directive.
