3. Please see explanation of the development of the EU at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_union.
4. The nationality of women attending the off-street prostitution Base 75 drop in service in Glasgow between December 206 and December 2007 were recorded. Forty-one women said they were from the UK and 46 reported being from another country.
5. A semi-structured interview is a method of research in which the interviewer explores a framework of themes in a fluid manner. While a structured interview has a formalised, limited set of questions, a semi-structured interview is flexible, allowing new questions to be generated during the interview as a result of the interviewee's responses.
6. Obviously the common law crimes and victimisation often associated with human trafficking, such as crimes of violence, rape, extortion and others are not new. These have been dealt with from both policing and victim care perspectives for many years.

8. Although the details of some cases dealt with victim services were passed to the police through third party reporting for the purposes of further investigation, the police did not encounter the victims involved in these cases.

10. Some or many of these individuals may actually originate from other Asian countries. China does not accept the return of individuals from other countries unless it can be proven that they are Chinese. It is thought that this is why Chinese illegal immigrants usually destroy documentation, counterfeit or otherwise, and it is also considered the reasoning behind many Asian individuals claiming to be Chinese when they are actually from other countries in Asia.
11. The Scottish Refugee Council supported 6 victims of trafficking during April 2007-March 2008.
