lpv:translated text	". Drugs are one of the issues of greatest concern to European citizens. Combating drugs requires a European dimension that includes the immediate adoption of legal instruments against the manufacture and trafficking of drugs, cooperation with producer countries and the promotion of preventing and combating drug addiction. Mr Pirker’s proposal responds to the steady increase in the production and trade in synthetic drugs. It is a matter of concern that most illegally produced synthetic drugs originate in Europe – according to data compiled in 1999 by the Swiss Federal Criminal Investigation Office, the Netherlands alone accounts for more than 50% of world production. There is an urgent need for effective and rigorous control of the manufacture and sale of substances which, whilst also being chemical products with legitimate applications, are frequently diverted to the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. This does not apply to the legal trade in these substances, specifically the manufacture of medicines. I support this proposal, which transforms the current directive into a Regulation, allowing legislation to be simplified, making it easier to implement – in a uniform and concurrent way (which is even more important in the context of enlargement). The main aim is to monitor the trade in drug precursors in a harmonised way and prevent their misuse for illicit drugs production, through closer cooperation between the competent authorities and economic operators (who should immediately notify the authorities of unusual orders or transactions), which must be extended to substances that have not to date been included on our lists."@en1
