diabetic receives the necessary medication in a European destination
country (in the case of returns under Dublin III) immediately after arrival
(see also p. 136 et seq.).
Regarding the observed inspections of bars and pubs in red light
districts, the commissions recognise the efforts made to guarantee a
process that is as proper as possible. However, the methods used
often disregard the human trafficking aspect, especially as interpreters
are not present during these questionings. The police officers should
be trained in how to deal with potential victims, including dialogue
with them and communication strategies.

Report of the Human Rights Advisory Council
In 2014, the Human Rights Advisory Council continued and expanded
its successful work. During 2014, it held a total of five meetings and
established numerous working groups that held around 20 meetings,
sometimes including external experts.
In February 2014, several members of the Human Rights Advisory
Council spoke with a delegation from the Tunisian Parliament
regarding questions relating to the NPM. The head of the Human
Rights Advisory Council participated in a programme during the visit of
the Macedonian NPM in Vienna in April 2014 and spoke about the
activities of the Human Rights Advisory Council and human rights
standards of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture
and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT). In
December 2014, a delegation from GRETA (Group of Experts on Action
against Trafficking in Human Beings), an expert group of the Council of
Europe, met with members of the Human Rights Advisory Council.
