They studied the country’s national risk assessment in preparation for their own, and will incorporate many of Portugal’s approaches. In December, the PCU commissioned a practical commentary on the legislation, reflecting new standards and providing an overview of global trends to assist financial reporting agencies in meeting the requirements of the recent AML/ CFT law.

Trafficking in Human Beings & Migration-Related Crime Throughout the year, partner NGOs continued to support multidisciplinary groups in 13 regions in implementing the NRM to combat trafficking in human beings. The groups included police, social-service providers, employment centres, legal aid providers and others. More than 2,400 government officials and activists were trained in identifying and assisting victims of trafficking. Additionally, information campaigns on trafficking were launched across the country. In May, two international experts presented a newly developed training course on investigating IT-facilitated human trafficking crimes. The course’s development started in January, with the experts drawing on international practices and Ukrainian experiences. The translation needs to be finalized by Ukrainian experts. In late June, the PCU held a workshop for 167 NRM actors from across Ukraine to assess the progress of the NRM multiplication. Participants highlighted the need for an 92 improved identification system for victims of human trafficking. In September and October, the PCU supported a number of working group meetings and a national seminar with more than 140 heads of anti-trafficking police units, investigators, and NGOs from all regions of Ukraine, and social authorities responsible for the provision of a status of trafficking victims. These activities aimed to address the need for identifying more efficiently victims of human trafficking, which resulted in a draft joint order of the Ministry of Social Policy and National Police on trafficking data and on recommendations for information exchange and referral between the two bodies. Ultimately, 83 people were registered as victims in 2015, compared to an average of 27 in the previous three years. In October, a manual based on a newly developed training course on investigating IT-facilitated human trafficking crimes was finalized and 600 copies were printed. In addition, the first five-day course of its kind was delivered to 20 antitrafficking and cybercrime police officers. From November to December, the PCU organized a nationwide anti-trafficking information campaign, with over 170 illuminated signs and billboards providing information on the national anti-trafficking hotline and on recruitment scams such as promising refugee status. In December, the PCU procured equipment for a specialized training room at Kharkiv State University of Interior to facilitate the future delivery of courses on investigating ITfacilitated human trafficking crimes. Cybercrime In August, the PCU conducted a specialized training on network security for 20 anti-cybercrime police officers. In September, at the request of the MoI, the PCU helped draft the concept paper for the new Ukrainian cyber police and establish the criteria and tests for the selection of candidates. On 9 October, the MoI announced the creation of Ukraine’s reformed cyber police following the adoption of respective governmental regulations on 13 October. From October to December, the PCU supported the selection process and re-attestation of cyber police staff, including the facilitation of integrity testing for over 500 candidates. Two 400-hour training programmes were developed, and supporting training materials for cadets and professors were printed. Following the finalization of the selection process, the PCU intends to facilitate the training of 250 new cyber police officers in line with the above-mentioned programmes in 2016.
