Combating trafficking in human beings: offences, penalties and sanctions, liability in criminal matters. Framework Decision

In adopting the report of Eva KLAMT (EPP-ED, D) (see previous document), MEPs made some minor changes. In spite of its broad agreement, MEPs adopted 37 amemdments to tidy up the text. In motions of order before the vote, Hubert PIRKER (EVP/ED, A) and Anna TERRON I CUSI (PES, E) protested that Council had already reached agreement on the framework decision on all points but has not waited for Parliament's formal advice, even though Council had promised to take Parliament's view into account, as is compulsory according to the Treaty.�
