"I am not in a position to say whether or not this is indeed the main activity on which organised crime bases its trafficking. Without a doubt – it is a well-known fact – this is one of the most important trades. I do not know if it is the most important but it is certainly one of the most important types of trafficking. I certainly agree that this trafficking has a huge negative impact on all Member States of the European Union and that every endeavour needs to be made to try to eliminate this scourge of today’s society. In this sense, I can say that the Union is already taking – possibly not sufficiently given that the results are not as positive as we had hoped for– steps to intervene in producer countries.
We must try to do more. It is not always easy to succeed in eradicating particular situations in countries that have a very weak legal system, always supposing that they have any. The line that you took in your question, Mr Hume – trying to investigate the issue precisely in the producer countries, in which the trafficking in question originates and where the drugs are produced - is undoubtedly one that I agree with and support."@en1
