As I said during the debate, this is not the time to weaken or to give the idea that our determination in combating drugs and the blight they represent is waning. Given the prospect of the forthcoming meeting in Vienna, the European Parliament should not send a single sign of hesitancy, of weakness, or of retreating. Nor should it create ambiguities for the future and even more loopholes and ways of evading the global discipline defined in the United Nations Conventions currently before us.
Consequently, since my alternative motion for a resolution has not been adopted – although I am gratified and thank those Members who supported it for the large vote it received in plenary – the best outcome would actually have been for Parliament not to adopt anything and to clearly reject the motion put forward by the rapporteur, and by implication, the entire own-initiative procedure of which it is a part.
I am glad that this is what has happened.
All those representing the European Parliament at the Vienna meeting must take account of this outcome and, adhering to the democratic method, scrupulously respect the fact that plenary has clearly rejected the ideas and proposals put forward by Messrs Buitenweg and Cappato."@en1
