"On 16 and 17 December, the Council will decide on the new European Union Anti-Drugs Strategy for 2005-2012. A political agreement has already been reached in the Council, with no transparency or democratic scrutiny by Parliament. Indeed the Council has been very reluctant to meet our repeated demands for information about the progress of negotiations, even though we were discussing the same issue in the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. Today I voted in favour of Mr Catania’s report, because the European Parliament has to show the Council what its vision of the new anti-drugs strategy is for the years to come. We note that the European strategy has achieved little to date, and at the same time, drug use has increased in Europe. We therefore want to step up coordination and cooperation at European level so that Europe can bring added value to the fight against the scourge of drugs while respecting the principle of subsidiarity. We must finally make the protection and health of drug users a priority. We must therefore step up prevention, provide better care and enhance health policy so as to avoid human tragedies and reduce exclusion."@en1
