The Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) held its 33rd meeting from 3-7 December 2018 in Strasbourg.

GRETA adopted final second round reports on Iceland, Italy and San Marino. These reports will be sent to the national authorities concerned and will subsequently be made public, together with eventual final comments by the authorities.

GRETA also approved the draft second round reports on Andorra, Finland, Germany and Lithuania. GRETA decided to transmit these draft reports to the national authorities concerned and to ask them to submit their comments within two months. The comments will be taken into account when GRETA draws up its final evaluation reports. GRETA’s draft reports remain confidential until their final adoption.

As part of the meeting, GRETA held exchanges of views with Mr Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos, Vice-President of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as with Mr Julian Nicholls, Senior Trial Lawyer at the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
