lpv:translated text	"Mr President, as a Finnish liberal, I support Mr Olle Schmidt’s policy. We ask ourselves what it is that attracts young people to the drugs trade. All right, it is when they live in societies that offer them no better prospects and no other possible areas in which to succeed. I myself come from a society in which all young people have opportunities of receiving an education, bettering their social position and improving their lot. They have hope. There is nothing better than hope in the fight against the drugs trade. If we argue in favour of a trade’s having to be legalised if it is profitable, I wonder if we must not also legalise trafficking in human beings, including women, which is in the process of becoming just as large an economic sector in the world, and even more dreadful. To those who say we are being ridiculous when we talk about the success of Nordic drugs policy, I would say that, according to statistics from Finland, where drugs-related crime fell last year, we have succeeded."@en1
