(4) The Union is committed to the prevention of and fight against trafficking in human beings, and to the protection of the rights of trafficked persons. For this purpose, Council Framework Decision 2002/629/JHA of 19 July 2002 on combating trafficking in human beings OJ L 203, 1.8.2002, p. 1. , and an EU Plan on best practices, standards and procedures for combating and preventing trafficking in human beings OJ C 311, 9.12.2005, p. 1. were adopted. Moreover, the Stockholm Programme — An open and secure Europe serving and protecting citizens OJ C 115, 4.5.2010, p. 1. , adopted by the European Council, gives a clear priority to the fight against trafficking in human beings. Other measures should be envisaged, such as support for the development of general common indicators of the Union for the identification of victims of trafficking, through the exchange of best practices between all the relevant actors, particularly public and private social services.
