Mr President, Commissioner, the amendment to the operating regulations of the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction is considered indispensable. First, due to enlargement and, secondly, due to the new trends being observed in young people, who are using legal substances, such as alcohol, and illegal substances simultaneously. According to the Commission proposal, the main tasks of the Centre are the collection, analysis and dissemination of transnational data on drug-related problems. I, however, consider it vital that the Centre should also proceed towards the evaluation of different national policies instead of merely supplying the data. Only this would give the Member States knowledge of the best and most efficient practices in this difficult sector.
I consider the question of the representation of the European Parliament on the Centre's Management Board to be equally important, which is why I propose that two members of Parliament should be nominated as observers, who will regularly report back to the committee responsible. As far as the nomination of the director is concerned, the procedure should be the same as for other Community agencies, in other words a candidate should be proposed. The selection procedure should be transparent and should attract the interest of all potential candidates. I proposed amendments on all the foregoing which were accepted. To close, I should like to thank the rapporteur for his constructive cooperation."@en1
