EU ineffective against Asian traffickers: Court of Auditors
The European Union has been targeted by human traffickers from Asia and must improve its anti-slavery programmes, according to a report from the European Court of Auditors. The research found that imprecise objectives and lack of local commitment meant that the €31m ($35m) spent on projects in South and Southeast Asia from 2009 to 2015 had been ineffective. The Court called for adjustments to be made to initiatives to make them more responsive to local needs. Nearly 46 million people worldwide are victims of slavery and trafficking according to the 2016 Global Slavery Index.
