Press Release July 20, 2022 U.S. Embassy Bucharest welcomes the release of the United States Department of State’s 2022 Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP Report). The Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons compiles and releases this comprehensive report yearly as an essential part of our efforts to combat the scourge of human trafficking and modern-day slavery in all of its forms. As set forth in the Report, Romania has made substantial progress over the course of the last year. This nation is no longer on the Tier Two Watchlist but has moved to Tier Two. Romania, similar to every nation including the United States, can do more to prevent trafficking, aid and support the victims thereof, and hold those who would prey upon their fellow citizens criminally accountable. Very real progress has been made, however, in terms of increased law enforcement efforts, increased protections and assistance for the exploited—particularly for child victims, and in preventative measures. Significant additional steps must be taken, and in those efforts we welcome and applaud the partnership and efforts of the International Justice Mission, the International Organization for Migration, and numerous Romanian NGOs, leaders, and dedicated civil servants. We applaud the dedication of Minister of Internal Affairs Lucian Bode, Ministry of Internal Affairs State Secretary Bogdan Despescu, State Counselor M?d?lina Turza, Prosecutor General Gabriela Scutea, Chief Organized Crime Prosecutor Oana Pâ?u, and Maximilian Nicolae-Director at the National Agency against Trafficking. We call on these same officials to maintain this progress and continue this important fight. The entire report can be read here: https://go.usa.gov/xSKgq
