lpv:translated text	". Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, across the world prohibitionism has always produced two results: on the one hand, a large increase in the number of deaths and imprisonments among those who use narcotics, who constitute the section of the prison population with the highest re-offending rate, and on the other hand unlimited big business for all sorts of drug traffickers. This plan, however, focuses mainly on protecting everyone’s health. This is why the harm reduction strategies are absolutely fundamental. Only by keeping alive persons who currently cannot or do not want to stop using narcotic substances can we hope that in the future they will succeed in escaping from all forms of dependence. We must not forget that most deaths are due to AIDS and heart failures, that is, pathological situations connected with drug-taking methods. For this reason, harm reduction involves taking action on the street and at low-threshold centres. In addition, we must firmly distinguish between drug dealers and drug users, although repressive policies tend to place them in the same category. Finally, it is essential to integrate social measures and pharmacological substitution measures. We must avoid any kind of moralistic attitude that sets these in opposition."@en1
