lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would warn against the terms ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ drugs. Talk of soft drugs gives out completely the wrong signals. It makes these drugs out to be harmless, but there are no soft drugs. Instead, these drugs – for example, cannabis – are often the gateway to other drugs. I have visited many different treatment centres for drug addicts where just about all addicts have agreed that what are mistakenly called soft drugs started them off on the drug misuse that destroyed their lives and robbed them of their future. These addicts feel angry and frustrated that society has not made the dangers of cannabis, hashish and similar drugs sufficiently clear. In my own country, Sweden, we have combined a restrictive drugs policy and the criminalisation of drugs with care and treatment for addicts. This combination has proved to be the best way of stopping drug abuse. The small increase we have seen in Sweden in recent years has been due partly to the open borders and partly to the influence of the legalisation debate taking place elsewhere in the EU."@en1
