lpv:translated text	"I welcome the resolution of the European Parliament on combating the drugs problem in Europe. It is a good thing that MEPs are at last receptive to the way we treat drug addicts in the Netherlands. The Netherlands has been treated as a pariah for years, but now we are being praised for the way we are dealing with these matters. The results of this vote are an endorsement of Dutch drugs policy. I am pleased with the members’ decision to call on Member States in this report to place prevention and risk limitation at centre stage in our drugs policy. In this context, we should be offering facilities to help drug addicts kick their habit. We should also be making better use of the experiences of former drug users in the information we provide in places like schools and community centres. By providing better information we should be able to give young people a better idea of the consequences of taking drugs. We will have to pay specific attention to prisoners. I believe that it is a good thing for Member States to get prisons completely free from drugs. I have therefore voted in favour of this proposal."@en1
