Cyprus is a destination country for women trafficked from Eastern and Central Europe for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Traffickers who forced women into prostitution continued to fraudulently recruit victims for work as dancers in cabarets and nightclubs on short-term "artiste" visas, for work in pubs and bars on employment visas, or for illegal work on tourist or student visas. There was increasing evidence of Chinese women being trafficked for sexual exploitation in Cyprus. The Government of Cyprus does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. Cyprus made some progress in its anti-trafficking efforts over the past year. The new police anti-trafficking unit produced successful results and showed vigilance in combating the problem. Government recognition of the problem improve ... [Read More]

Austria
The U.S. and Austria are signatories to a 1931 Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Consular Rights. The Austrian Immigration Law restricts the overall number of visas, but a few non-immigrant business visa classifications, including intra-company transferees/rotational workers and employees on temporary duty, are eligible for visas with no numerical limitations. Recruitment of long-term overseas specialists or those with managerial duties is under quota controls. The 2002 Amendment of the Austrian Immigration Law more clearly defined employment-based immigrants as multinational executives/managers or similar professionals who are self-employed, and streamlined procedures for obtaining visas and work authorization. The 2002 integration policy requiring immigrants to attain a certain minimum level of competence in the German language will not affect executives and their dependents. The 2002 Immigration Amendment was intended to address problems reported by U.S. and other investors with a ... [Read More]

Austria (02/05)
The People's Party advocates conservative financial policies and privatization of much of Austria's nationalized industry. It finds support from farmers, large and small business owners, and some lay Catholic groups, mostly in the rural regions of Austria. In 2002, it received 42.3% of the vote. The rightist Freedom Party traditionally had a base in classic European liberalism. However, a mixture of populism and anti-establishment themes steadily gained support in recent years. It attracted about 27% of the vote in the 1999 elections, but only 10% of the vote in 2002. The Liberal Forum, founded on libertarian ideals, split from the Freedom Movement in February 1993. It received 3.7% of the vote in the 1999 election and thus failed to enter the national legislature. The Greens, a left-of-center party focusing on environmental issues, received 9.5% of the national vote in 2002. ... [Read More]
