Despite progress achieved in fighting this crime, the Commission reports that, on average, 7 000 people per year are victims of human trafficking in the EU and that this figure is most likely only the tip of the iceberg. Moreover, forms of exploitation have evolved over time and have adapted to the new environment. MEPs. MEPs Malin Björk and Eugenia Rodríguez Palop brief journalists on the deal reached on the revision of the directive on combating trafficking in human beings.
