Thirteen independent experts from as many countries will be the first
members of the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human
Beings (GRETA), a new body that will monitor the implementation of
the Council of Europe anti-trafficking convention.

The Committee of the Parties of the convention, which has met in
Strasbourg on 5 and 8 December, elected the following members of
GRETA for a term of office of four years, beginning on 1 January 2009:

-Vessela Banova (Bulgarian) -Louise Calleja (Maltese) -Josie
Christodoulou (Cypriot) -Davor Derencinovic (Croatian) -Vladimir Gilca
(Moldovan) -Hanne Sophie Greve (Norwegian) -Nicolas Le Coz (French)
-Alexandra Malangone (Slovak) -Nell Rasmussen (Danish) -Leonor Maria
Da Conceicão Cruz Rodrigues (Portuguese) -Gulnara Shahinian (Armenian)
-Robert Stratoberdha (Albanian) – Diana-Florentina Tudorache (Romanian)

GRETA will use a similar methodology to other Council of Europe
monitoring bodies. It will publish reports evaluating the measures
included in the Council of Europe on Action against Trafficking in
Human Beings.

The convention, which entered into force on 1 February 2008 and has
been ratified by 19 states, aims to prevent this crime, protect the
victims and prosecute the offenders.
