The asymmetry between national rules on prostitution in the EU, given its cross-border nature, leads to more victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation and makes for fertile operating ground for organised crime. MEPs call for measures at EU and national levels to effectively tackle the cross-border implications of prostitution and urge the Commission to develop common EU guidelines guaranteeing fundamental rights for people in prostitution. Maria NOICHL (S&D, DE), holds a press conference on the prostitution report – survivors call for the criminalisation of sex buyers, in Strasbourg.
