Therefore, exploitation
Amendment 70 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 6 (6) The levels of penalties in this Directive reflect the growing concern among Member States about increased trafficking in human beings. Considering the gravity of the crime, this Directive aims to ensure further harmonisation and a higher level of penalties in the EU. When the offence is committed in certain circumstances, for example against a particularly vulnerable victim, the penalty should be more severe. In the context of this Directive, particularly vulnerable persons should include at least all children, and adults who were particularly vulnerable on grounds of gender, pregnancy, health conditions
Amendment 117 #
Proposal for a directive Article 2 – paragraph 3 3. Exploitation shall include, as a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, including begging and the use of a trafficked dependent person for begging, regardless her/his relation to the perpetrators, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude, or the exploitation of criminal activities, or the removal of organs.
Amendment 126 #
