Council of Europe monitoring bodies, with their longstanding experience and high
specialisation in the different areas related to TOC, are capable of addressing the
many-faceted issues related to the fight against TOC in a pan-European context.
These monitoring bodies not only contribute actively to the effective use and
implementation of the Council of Europe conventions related to different types of
TOC, but also prepare interesting reports that identify the flaws in practice and the
need for future amendments to legal instruments. They also organise numerous
events to collect information and raise awareness of the importance of compliance
with the conventions in question. However, it appears that the expertise of these
specialised committees could be further co-ordinated to define a common approach
to TOC.
