The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) was set up in 1993 and is based in Lisbon. Its role is to collect, analyse and disseminate objective, reliable and comparable data and in turn to provide an accurate overview of the phenomenon in Europe. If we are to establish an effective policy and measures to combat the problem, we need to be aware of its extent and nature.
Although a great deal of progress has been made, there remains much to be done in terms of enhancing the monitoring instruments and developing a genuine ‘common language’.
I voted in favour of this report on the Commission’s proposal on the EMCDDA. The main amendments will ensure that Parliament is involved in the codecision process, that the EMCDDA has a broader role and that the EMCDDA’s bodies adapt to post-enlargement Europe.
The EMCDDA must obtain more objective and comparable data and must channel its efforts into a thorough evaluation of drug-related policy and of trends in drug use. I also wish to highlight the importance of improving the exchange of information on best practice in addressing drug issues and making that exchange more flexible."@en1
