A/58/275 reflection period and a temporary residence permit to decide whether to cooperate in the prosecution of traffickers. 59. In December 2002, ministers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, the Republic of Moldova, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Yugoslavia agreed to improve the identification of trafficked victims, refrain from immediately expelling possible victims of trafficking, refer possible victims to shelters and provide them with social, legal and health assistance. Consular protection 60. In view of the problems confronted by irregular migrants transiting through Mexico and of the inadequate consular representation of their countries of origin, within the framework of the Puebla Process it was decided that a Central American consulate would be established in Veracruz, Mexico. If staffed by personnel with expertise in migration questions, particularly with regard to consular protection, such consulates could considerably enhance the level of protection provided to migrants and prevent abuses and violations. Along the border with the United States, Mexican consulates keep a record of incidents in which Mexican migrants have suffered and seek reparation for the violation of their rights. Also as part of the Puebla Process, a network of consular protection was established in all Central American countries. Migration authorities and NGOs are part of this network which, among other things, favours the exchange of information and the development of policies and proposals to combat trafficking. 61. In the Philippines, the Special Rapporteur learned about the Overseas Comprehensive Social Service Package, which provides medical, legal and counselling services in identified countries with large concentrations of Filipino migrants. This involves the deployment of social workers and medical practitioners who provide services on the spot. The Government also initiated efforts to establish arrangements with counterparts and NGOs in other countries to provide assistance to Filipinos in distress, particularly women and children, who require temporary shelter, counselling, repatriation and immediate medical treatment. Also, embassies of the Philippines issue within the country travel advisories and information on labour and employment conditions. 62. One valuable initiative that was brought to the attention of the Special Rapporteur is the establishment, upon the initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru, of Consultation Councils (Consejos de Consulta) in all Peruvian consulates. The object is to provide for dialogue and consultation between Peruvian communities abroad and the Head of the Consular Office on issues relating to the improvement of consular services, protection tasks and the integration of Peruvians in the communities in which they live. Prevention of violations and protection of migrants working in the informal sector 63. In some Asian countries the law provides that the domestic worker contract govern the terms of employment, salary, rest days and medical benefits. In some cases, it is obligatory for employers of foreign domestic workers to cover their workers under personal accident insurance. Some countries have established tollfree telephone numbers to provide information to foreign domestic workers 19
