lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I want to draw your attention to a recent conference held in London on drugs in Afghanistan. We face a grave threat from a flood of heroin made from the Afghan poppy, destroying the lives of Europeans, especially young Europeans. As Chairman of the Afghan Circle in the European Parliament, I know the problem faced by the leaders of Afghanistan, whom I have met many times, with over 60% of their economy being dependent on the poppy. The countries of the region came together for the first time at the London conference to offer support to Afghanistan. Regional cooperation is the way forward. The distinguished Foreign Minister of Kazakhstan, Mr Tokaev, for example, said that Kazakhstan is funding a programme which provides Afghan farmers with alternative seeds, equipment and advice on growing alternative crops. Others are doing the same and, as you know, Britain is playing a leading role in the war against drugs. Our Parliament should have a debate on the global menace of drugs. We talk about terrorism and avian flu, but drugs are destroying many people’s lives."@en1
