The Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA) held its 27th meeting from 28 November to 2 December 2016 at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.
In the context of the second round of evaluation of the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, GRETA adopted final reports on Armenia, Latvia, Malta and Portugal, taking into account the comments received from the national authorities. These reports will be sent to the authorities concerned and will subsequently be made public, together with eventual final comments by the authorities.
GRETA also approved draft second round reports on Bosnia and Herzegovina, France and Norway, as well as a draft first round report on Belarus. 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.
During the meeting, GRETA held an exchange of views with Mr Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque and Mr Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos, judges from the European Court of Human Rights.
