"Referring to its Resolution 1983 (2014) “Prostitution, trafficking and modern slavery in Europe", the Assembly acknowledges that in paragraph 127 of the conclusions, the rapporteur said that “despite the fact that each system presents advantages and disadvantages, I think that policies prohibiting the purchase of sex are those that are more likely to have a positive impact on reducing trafficking in human beings. While acknowledging that each country should hold a thorough discussion on its policy on prostitution and that the final decision must be taken in a sovereign manner, I personally consider the Swedish model as the most successful in the context of tackling human trafficking”."
Since the Report fails to include the conclusions of Resolution 1983 (2014), it is important that the Assembly is aware that voting in favour of this report would mean contradict itself and denying what the same Assembly voted for on the same topic only ten years ago.
