lpv:translated text	"Madam President, this is not the first time that this Framework Decision has been on the agenda, as the rapporteur has already said. The Netherlands has proved uncooperative not only in Parliament, but also within the Council. The Netherlands blocked the decision for two years, fearing that its system of tolerance would be at issue. As far as I am concerned, it would actually be a good thing if Dutch policy, an international anomaly, came under pressure from European countries to make a U-turn. We now have a compromise text before us that has unfortunately diluted the original Commission text. For example, legal cooperation and extradition to other Member States will not be obligatory, and the text is worded such that the subsidiarity principle applies to Dutch policy. Although the minimum penalty is being increased considerably, from one month to one year, the Netherlands is not obliged to impose this penalty. Despite these marginal notes, I am pleased that there is now a common framework for combating drugs trafficking, which destroys so many lives. I hope that the Member States, the Netherlands included, will take some serious action in this regard. Their citizens deserve it."@en1
