Member States must ensure full implementation of the provisions related to the access to compensation of victims of violent intentional crime in cross-border situations. Trafficked persons should have access to any compensation schemes for victims of violent intentional crime. Member States should take appropriate measures to identify and trace proceeds of trafficking. These proceeds have to be subjected to confiscation and other measures such as freezing and seizing. In order to ensure effective compensation to victims, the establishment of national compensations funds is recommended. Consideration should be given to the use of confiscated proceeds in the establishment of a national scheme on compensation. Member States should ensure that trafficked persons are provided with legal counseling and free legal assistance with a view to enabling them to claim compensation and/or their employment rights in civil and criminal proceedings. In cases where criminal charges for trafficking are discontinued, legal status and legal assistance should be extended until civil claims, including those before labour courts, are completed.
