Your thoughts on this matter?
My thoughts:
Some of this problem does reach the UK via the EU and we need to work with it and member states in order to fight the slave gangs.
Also, lefties who say "refugees welcome" and "no borders" they are a big part of the problem.
International slave trading cannot be shut down without effective border controls.
Question for written answer E-001305/2023
to the Commission
Rule 138
André Rougé (ID)
Worldwide, 50 million people are victims of modern slavery – representing an increase of almost 10 million compared to the International Labour Organisation’s 2016 estimates. Europe is no exception to this trend. For several EU countries, the assessed risk of human rights violations linked to modern slavery has been revised upwards by the Modern Slavery Index. Romania, Greece, Italy and Bulgaria have been categorised as ‘high risk’ as a result of numerous human and labour rights violations, including servitude and slave trafficking.
Migrants are the most likely to fall victim to slavery, as they are used for cheap and easily exploitable labour. This situation is only reinforced by the creation and perpetuation of migration routes to Europe.
1.While the European Union has already taken firm positions to put an end to modern slavery in Europe, and implemented new measures to combat it, it is worth asking: how effective are these measures?
2.What other measures does the Commission intend to take to curb migration flows, which are often the source of slavery in the EU?
