". Every year, between 700 000 and 2 million people, mostly women and children, are the victims of trafficking in human beings. Worldwide, trafficking in human beings is the third biggest source of illegal income, after arms trafficking and drugs trafficking. It generates profits of between USD 5 and 7 billion dollars a year. The current rate of trafficking in children is now ten times higher than that of the transatlantic slave trade at its peak. This particular form of trafficking is forced labour, and it is the one that is growing most rapidly. Trafficking in human beings is a scourge which affects every part of the globe, and it is taking on alarming proportions in the wake of globalisation. Organised crime very quickly achieved the huge profits that could be made from taking advantage of the distress of would-be immigrants. The proposal for a directive on the short-term residence permit issued to victims of action to facilitate illegal immigration or trafficking in human beings who cooperate with the competent authorities, a proposal that Members are due to vote on today, is one of the instruments which will enable us to combat this scourge."@en1
