State level: Current relevant legislative framework remains as in 2011, after the significant changes that the ratification of the 'Palermo Convention' and its Protocols, esp. the 'Protocol against trafficking in Human Beings' have brought about (L. 3875/2010). The transposition of Directive 2011/36/EU shall also have an impact on Greek legislation. The fight against human trafficking is an integral part of the Anti-Crime Policy Programme (2010-2014) (see s. 5.2 for more details).

In this field the National Centre for Social Solidarity (E.K.K.A.-Line 197) under the Ministry of Labor acts as the national coordinator for the cooperation among state and non-state actors. Foreign diplomatic missions in Greece also contribute to the task of assisting victims of trafficking and their return. The National Coordination Mechanism tasked with monitoring and combating trafficking in human beings under the coordination of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs participates in the Programme Towards a Pan-european Monitoring System of Trafficking in Human Beings (2012-2014), along with other EU member-states and international organisations.
