While underlining the diversity of the situations in the different member states, ministers also recognised that they faced similar challenges, including the widespread problem of domestic violence, and stressed that issues such as human trafficking also involved a cross-border dimension.
Rõhutades erinevusi eri liikmesriikide olukordade vahel, tunnistasid ministrid samas, et neil on sarnased probleemid, sealhulgas koduvägivalla laialt levinud probleem, ning rõhutasid, et sellised küsimused, nagu näiteks inimkaubandus, hõlmavad ka piiriülest mõõdet.
