"As usual, you were not listening and, as usual, we were right. At the time of the establishment of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction in 1995, National Front members declared right here, before this Assembly, that it was pointless, and they predicted that it would fail. Almost ten years on, the results are in fact pathetic: failures in the board of directors, in the information gathering and analysis network and in data dissemination, and lack of assessment of the various policies with regard to drugs. The annual reports and statistical data are piling up, but the problems have grown worse.
France is now the country where 16-year-old adolescents smoke the most cannabis in Europe. A real epidemic, the use of drugs now affects all social classes and all ages.
The rapporteur therefore proposes overhauling the observatory’s operations and missions. But the solution does not lie in a proliferation of Théodule committees, nor in the establishment of a community approach to anti-drug policies. It is time to realise that the use of drugs increases exponentially with tolerance and that only national policies based on zero tolerance with regard to drugs can give young people their future back."@en1
