  One of Coordinator's primary tasks is to supervise the implementation of action plan which contains concrete anti-trafficking activities. 
• 9.2. Collection of data on THB.
  Collecting THB data requires considerable effort due to several problems such as inconsistent sources of information, handling of cases with a considerable time delay, possible redefinition of criminal act etc. Still, all relevant information on THB phenomena is collected annually.      
  • 9.2.1.    There is a central collection of a statistical data on THB and the data is received from various stakeholders.   
    Yes.
    • 9.2.1.1.  If yes, please provide information on the nature of the stakeholders. (E. g. Ministry of Justice, Police, Labour Inspectors, Embassies, NGOs, etc.).
      Information regarding THB crimes and perpetrators is provided by the Police. The Office of the State Prosecutor General collects and submits data on advanced criminal procedures (indictments filed, investigations taking place, redefinitions of criminal offences, dropped cases and clearance rates (decisions of convictions or acquittal). NGOs provide figures related to victims that have been assisted and taken care of. Further, the Employment Office of the Republic of Slovenia provides information on work permits issued to workers in risk-related professions (bar dancers, construction industry, catering). Slovenian consular and representative posts abroad may also provide relevant information.  
• 9.3. Coordination of anti-trafficking activities on a national level.
  As stated above, one of National Coordinator's principal tasks is to provide guidance and coordination of activities in the field.
• 9.4. National Reports.
  Yes.
  • 9.4.1.     Annual reports.
    The National Coordinator and the Interdepartmental Working Group issue annual reports related to anti-THB activities. Each line of ministry participates in harmonizing the report which is adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia. All reports are posted on-line.
  • 9.4.2.     Reports based on a longer period. Please describe period length and state why this specific period of time was chosen. 
•  9.5. Preparation and evaluation of the National Action Plans.
  As mentioned before, the main role of the National Coordinator and the Interdepartmental Working Group is preparation of action plans. So far action plans have covered the following periods: 2004 – 2006, 2007 and 2008-2009. 
  • 9.5.1.    To whom are the above mentioned documents submitted?
    Action plans are submitted for harmonization to individual lines of ministry, governmental services and NGOs .  
  • 9.5.2.    Who approves these documents?
    Each line of ministry participates in harmonizing the plan which is adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia.
  • 9.5.3.    Who enforces the actions stipulated by the documents?
    All action plan projects have exact timing and some of them have financial specifications.   Each activity depends on its holder - the responsible line of ministry or NGO. 
• 9.6. International cooperation in the majority of the above mentioned areas.
  Clearly, international cooperation is very important. Politically speaking, Slovenia's standpoints related to THB are represented by the Ministry of the Interior.   Professional and strategic representation is vested in the National Coordinator, while international events are attended by IWG members depending on their competence. Both the Police and the Office of the State Prosecutor General cover THB topics in their international cooperation and operational activities. Also, NGOs associate in international cooperation networks.   Considering experience to date, Slovenia's involvement in international activities has been satisfactory.
