This analysis sets out the legal situation in the EU regarding surrogacy. A distinction can be drawn between traditional and gestational surrogacy, depending on the genetic connection of the surrogate to the child. A further distinction is made between altruistic and commercial surrogacy, depending on whether the surrogate receives remuneration. Among the Member States, Ireland, Greece, Cyprus and Portugal have introduced legislation permitting altruistic surrogacy, but for some of these the legislation ...

Le trafic de migrants constitue une activité essentielle des réseaux criminels actifs dans l’Union, soutenue par la demande continue de services de facilitation. L’instabilité géopolitique et socio-économique à travers le monde, ainsi que le changement climatique, devraient continuer à alimenter les mouvements migratoires. Le trafic de migrants est une activité qui permet de dégager d’importants bénéfices en prenant peu de risques. Les groupes criminels qui s’y adonnent sont de plus en plus sophistiqués ...

Criminal organisations continue to pose big risks to the EU's internal security – a rising number of organised crime groups are active on EU territory, often with cross-border reach. The EU has made substantial progress in terms of protecting its citizens since the early 1990s. This has often been in response to dramatic incidents, such as murders committed by the mafia or other organised crime groups or big money-laundering scandals, or to negative trends, such as the steep increase in migrant smuggling ...

Le 25 novembre, le Parlement tiendra un débat en plénière à l’occasion de la Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la violence à l’égard des femmes. Sept ans après les premières révélations du mouvement #MeToo, des cas choquants de violences physiques et sexuelles graves à l’égard des femmes continuent d’être dévoilés. L’Union européenne (UE) a mobilisé des outils législatifs et non législatifs pour lutter contre ce fléau social.

Child migration takes many forms, from family reunification and moving in the hope of finding a better life to forced and traumatic migration caused by conflict, poverty or climate change. Overall, the number of migrant children has been rising globally since the turn of the century. In 2020, there were an estimated 35.5 million international migrant children globally, the largest number ever recorded. This infographic focuses exclusively on forced and irregular movements of migrant children to the ...

On 19 December 2022, the European Commission put forward a proposal for the targeted revision of Directive 2011/36/EU – the main EU instrument to combat trafficking in human beings and to protect its victims. Despite progress achieved in fighting this crime, the Commission reports that, on average, over 7 000 people per year fall victim to human trafficking in the EU. Forms of exploitation have evolved and adapted to the new environment. For instance, new technologies are used to recruit victims. ...

En décembre 2022, la Commission européenne a proposé de réviser la directive 2011/36/UE, principal instrument de l’Union européenne pour lutter contre la traite des êtres humains.

In November 2023, the European Commission presented a proposal to reinforce the role of Europol, the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation, in the fight against migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings. With detections of irregular border crossings at the EU's external borders at their highest levels since 2016 and demand for migration facilitation services following suit, the Commission sees an urgent need to step up the prevention, detection and investigation of these crimes. Europol's ...

More than 90 % of people who cross the external borders of the European Union (EU) irregularly do so with the assistance of migrant smugglers. The facilitation of irregular migration is a highly profitable criminal activity, given the relatively low risks incurred by the perpetrators. Detections of irregular border crossings are at their highest levels since 2016, yet demand for migration facilitation services has also risen to a new high. This high demand is not only due to the fact that people ...
