Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like, first of all, to thank the rapporteur, Arie Oostlander, and congratulate him on his work, which concludes today and is to be welcomed.
The Commission proposal for a framework decision forms part of an overall strategy to fight drugs, based on a balanced approach between measures for reducing supply and demand and action against trafficking. The conclusions of the Tampere European Council indicated the need for supplementary legislation against drugs trafficking to be adopted at European level. In the action plan for combating drugs in the European Union 2000-2004, the Commission was expressly asked to propose measures laying down minimum provisions on the constituent elements of criminal acts and penalties in the field of drug trafficking.
Adopting this Council proposal for a framework decision, would clearly demonstrate the European Union’s will to combat drug trafficking and this is important. Drug trafficking is a threat to our citizens’ health, security and quality of life. I hope that the Irish Presidency is able to adopt this text that we are discussing here today, so that before the end of this parliamentary term, we can conclude the legislative process linked to this framework decision."@en1
