lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Mr Oostlander and I have a similar view of the appalling and extensive damage caused by drugs in Europe. Many politicians appear to have given up on the so-called soft drugs. I wonder what Mr Evans really meant. Many of our fellow MEPs in this House peddle a treacherous policy which, in my opinion, will only lead to more drug misusers, increased crime and greater scope for the huge drugs syndicates. A clear and consistent policy is the only thing that will help. Misusers must be given treatment, but use must be punished. It is a chimera to believe that a bit of liberalism on drugs will keep young people away from harder drugs. Certainly, this directive may be said to be a step in the right direction but, at the same time, we must bear in mind that the Fourteen have arranged for significant concessions to be made to the Netherlands where, as Mr Oostlander says, coffee shops can continue to proliferate. Drug tourism to Amsterdam is allowed to continue, and the Netherlands can go on exporting drug misuse to other countries. That is unacceptable. Of course we must have freedom of movement, but it must not be used for drugs and crime."@en1
