Naturally, there are many other areas that should be covered in the fight against
TOC: prevention, awareness, good governance, and in general the implementation
of the rule of law are also crucial. Choosing only five key areas does not mean that
the others are less important or should be neglected. But in order to make sensible
and feasible proposals for a future Council of Europe strategy on TOC, the group
decided to concentrate on criminal investigation and prosecution, and on concrete
topics, so as to draft precise recommendations.
