Note(s)
1. Directive 2011/36/EU (Anti-trafficking Directive) defines a 'position of vulnerability' as a "situation in which the person concerned has no real or acceptable alternative but to submit to the abuse involved".
2. Some directives use narrower definitions such as Directive 2008/115/EG (Return Directive) in its Art. 3(9).
