Human Trafficking in the EU and its Trucking Industry
The European Union’s role as a political and economic bloc allows its member states to have a freer flow of goods and people, which. largely benefits from greater trade and economic cooperation between them via the Schengen Area and its lack of border controls. By the same token, it also provides opportunities for criminal organisations that use the free flow of goods to evade the legal system across the EU and within its member states.
