In its comments on the report of the Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, the Government of Italy has stated that, although at the time of the Special Rapporteur’s visit (12 to 20 September 2013) a national plan of action against trafficking in human beings had not been adopted, measures on assistance and social integration of the victims had been taken into account in the preparation of the legislative decree No. 24/2014 implementing Directive 2011/36/EU.
