"We Moderates believe that drug dependence needs to be combated vigorously. Politicians and authorities must therefore emphasise clearly that every form of drug dependence is unacceptable. We do not accept measures proposed in the report that may make it easier to use certain drugs. So-called harm reduction
is in danger of becoming a gateway to drug dependence on the part of young people, rather than a safety measure. We are also against syringe exchange programmes, because they may be interpreted in terms of authorities’ and care institutions’ consent to the misuse of injections.
The report does not comply with the guidelines in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity. It is the Member States whose task it is themselves to develop forms of treatment within the health care services that deal with addiction. The EU’s task is, instead, to prevent drug dependence by means of coordinated efforts to combat crime involving, for example, the import and smuggling of drugs into the EU.
We Moderates are therefore voting against the above report."@en1
