Triples with object UKIP abstained on this non-legislative report. We are strong supporters of any measures to combat the trafficking of people, however we do not support the European Union taking actions on these measures. The free movement of people and Schengen has contributed to an increase in people trafficking within the EU. We think it is hypocritical of the EU to discuss measures outside of the EU when it refuses to acknowledge this. However out of respect for the sensitivity of the subject and our support for measures to combat it we abstained.
