Mr President, Mr Catania, as you know, the new drugs strategy for the period from 2005 to 2012 that is to be endorsed by the European Council is the first anti-drugs strategy for the enlarged Union. It is based on an assessment of the previous strategy, which the Commission carried out back in October.
The European approach, which favours a balance between demand-reduction and supply-reduction measures, therefore covers 25 countries. This strategy clearly addresses the need to enhance coordination within the Union as well as to raise the profile of EU efforts in other countries. The principal aims laid down in the strategy will be translated into specific actions in the two successive four-year action plans, which, as you are aware, will be proposed by the Commission at the start of 2005 and the start of 2009 respectively.
The Commission intends to adopt its proposal for an action plan in February 2005. It believes that Parliament’s contribution in an area such as the drugs issue is essential as a means of bringing European policy closer to the people. What we need, in other words, is a shared European political strategy. Rest assured that the Commission will not falter in its commitment to this approach."@en1
