2003/0196(CNS)

Pending the opinion of the European Parliament, the Council endorsed a general approach on draft decisions on the conclusion, on behalf of the European Community, of a protocol against the smuggling of migrants by land, air and sea of a protocol to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking in persons, especially women and children.

Both protocols supplement the United Nations Convention against transnational organised crime.
