While recalling that at first reading Parliament had been somewhat over-ambitious, the rapporteur, Mr Burtone (EPP, I), underlined the importance of the agreement that had been reached within the Conciliation Committee, both from a moral and a social point of view. He went on to say that Europe had rejected moves to legalise drugs, which would have led to the creation of a ‘state drug’. He therefore recommended a policy of prevention, while calling for better education and information and greater participation by families, schools and NGOs so that young drug addicts were helped to re-integrate themselves back into society. The rapporteur welcomed the fact that the programme would provide support for combating drugs at street level in order to help high-risk groups; emphasis had also been put on the role of the addict’s family and immediate social circle, parties who could benefit from the programme and from the exchange of information it provided. Commissioner Monti declared that rather than imposing one single policy the Commission was keen to listen to a range of debates on this issue in order to compare the different methods and solutions being proposed. As far as the programme was concerned, the Commissioner promised that both public and private bodies as well as NGOs offering care and treatment and providing social welfare services would be involved in implementing the scheme.

The Council noted that it was not in a position to take over all of Parliament’s amendments to its common position of 20 December 1995 on the abovementioned programme. As a result, the Conciliation Committee would be convened in accordance with Article 189b(3) of the Treaty.

The rapporteur, Mr Burtone (EPP, I), was against adopting a simplistic response to the drugs problem. He believed that strict measures were needed and that it was also important to promote dialogue and to cooperate with those working in the field. He expressed his disagreement with some of the amendments tabled by his Group and announced that he would vote against the proposal. Mr Burtone was opposed to legalising all drugs and was also against criminalising drug addicts, as prison was a fertile ground for the distribution of drugs. In conclusion, he called for the adoption of a rehabilitation and reintegration programme for addicts. The Commissioner, Mr Flynn, said that the Commission had introduced 21 amendments adopted by Parliament in its modified proposal. The Commissioner added that the common position of the Council was not acceptable to the Commission for two essential reasons. Firstly, the Council wanted to reduce the budget allocation (from ECU 28.5 million to ECU 27.5 million), while at the same time extending the scope of the programme. Secondly, the Commission was of the opinion that a consultative committee would be preferable to the management committee being proposed in the common position. Finally, the Commissioner stated that 12 of the amendments tabled by Parliament could be taken over by the Commission: Amendments Nos 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 15 to 17, 26 to 28 and 31.

The rapporteur recalled that in April the report had been referred back to committee. Unfortunately, the committee had once again put to the vote the amendments deemed to be fundamental, in spite of the disagreement with the Commissioner. The aim of the programme was to reduce the demand for drugs and to provide a solution for young drug addicts through preventive measures. These measures should be accompanied by a programme for the rehabilitation and reintegration of young drug addicts. The programme also related to young people who felt neglected because they did not want to leave the tunnel of drugs and thus risked dying as a result of an overdose or AIDS. As regards the debate between the prohibitionists and the anti-prohibitionists, the rapporteur felt that the latter’s argument, which was that soft drugs were not harmful to health, had not been proven; it was important to be cautious, especially as regards the use of designer drugs. There was no proof that lifting the ban on the use of soft drugs would reduce dependency; on the contrary, it risked encouraging the use of drugs, including harder drugs, since people often moved from softer drugs to harder drugs. Commissioner Flynn recalled that this programme was only one of the European Union’s strategies to combat drug addiction. That was why many of the amendments tabled by Parliament would be more appropriate in the context of other initiatives. He called for a pragmatic approach that focused on the most pertinent priorities in light of the limited resources. Mr Flynn stated that it would be difficult for the Commission to adjust its proposals unless Parliament revised its amendments (with the exception of Amendment No 2). He felt that a number of amendments provided a political assessment of national or international strategies and thus went beyond the competences laid down in Article 129 of the Treaty. Another group of amendments (including the amendment on the committee procedure) also went beyond the scope of the programme. A final more formal group of amendments contained less flexible or more restrictive wording than initially proposed by the Commission. Lastly, Amendment No 61, which related to the prevention of drugs, could be taken over in part.

The rapporteur, Mr BURTONE (EPP, I) recommended: - financial support for projects for drug addicts who had completed a programme of treatment, - employment for drug addicts in non-dangerous jobs, - contracts guaranteeing that workers who completed a drug treatment programme could keep their jobs, - the possibility for parents or people caring for drug addicts to be granted special working hours or additional leave. Finally, the rapporteur wanted the European Drug Observatory to be made an operational centre that would assist NGOs above all. On behalf of the RDE Group, Mr CABROL (F) stated that he opposed Amendment No 28, which called for coordination with the three other pillars to prevent drug addiction. He also opposed Amendment No 40, which excluded the representatives of the Member States who had not had any experience of voluntary work from the committee responsible for implementation of the programme, and Amendment No 54 as he did not believe that treating drug addicts was the responsibility of the Union. Commissioner Flynn supported around 20 of the amendments that clarified the Commission’s text. However, he rejected Amendments Nos 2, 3, 5, 15, 35, 37, 41, 42, 43 and 53 (improving scientific knowledge) as they went beyond the scope of this programme (for example Amendment No 37, which aimed to provide special aid, within the framework of development cooperation, to the drug-producing countries in their efforts to control domestic demand). He was also opposed to Amendments Nos 1, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 52, 54, and 55 to 62, which made a political judgement about the international strategy (for example Amendment No 55, which set out common ideas on the evaluation of the legitimacy and effectiveness of prohibitionist legislation). Finally, he rejected Amendments Nos 4, 7, 10, 14, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 27, 32, 44 to 46 and 51, which proposed a less flexible system than that suggested by the Commission: Amendment No 44 = instead of regular information, an annual report on the implementation of the programme, Amendment No 45 = specifying 30 September of each year as the deadline, Amendment No 46 = enabling the Commission to change its priorities among the various prevention activities in view of the changeable nature of drug demand. Supporting its rapporteur, Parliament referred this report back to the Committee on the Environment for examination of the Commission’s position.

Details

The ESC welcomed the Commission proposal for a Community strategy for action in the field of drug dependency, an increasing and complex phenomenon with huge social and economic costs to society. Competency for this lay within Article 129 of the Treaty. There was a need for coordinating action and rationalisation of existing instruments. As drug dependency was a complex phenomenon, the ESC accepted that its prevention needed efforts at local, national and global level involving multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional responses: - activities to target high-risk groups and critical age groups; - education and training for all involved; - the setting-up of an advisory body on drug dependency with representation from each Member State and with national committees as the central point of reference for all the many agencies involved, including non-governmental organisations. The ESC recommended that a broader approach be taken to encourage the promotion of healthier lifestyles rather than the narrow, negative approach epitomised by the ‘say no to drugs’ campaign in the USA. The ESC was broadly in favour of the Commission’s recommendation in all three areas of activity: 1) improving public awareness, in particular by means of coordinated transnational activities; 2) capitalising on the opportunities in other Community policies, programmes and instruments to prevent and combat drug dependency; 3) initiatives and actions relating to young people of school-going age in relevant environments and promotion of best practices in this regard. The ESC recommended that extra funding should be given to those border towns where the prevalence of drug addiction was particularly high. In conclusion, it endorsed the Commission’s initiative in this area, recognising the urgent need to support: 1) the evaluation of current research and practices; 2) the promotion and evaluation of innovative programmes, particularly in education; 3) the exchange of information and experience.

The ESC recommended that extra funding should be given to those border towns where the prevalence of drug addiction was particularly high. In conclusion, it endorsed the Commission’s initiative in this area, recognising the urgent need to support: 1) the evaluation of current research and practices; 2) the promotion and evaluation of innovative programmes, particularly in education; 3) the exchange of information and experience.

Competency for this lay within Article 129 of the Treaty. There was a need for coordinating action and rationalisation of existing instruments. As drug dependency was a complex phenomenon, the ESC accepted that its prevention needed efforts at local, national and global level involving multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional responses: - activities to target high-risk groups and critical age groups; - education and training for all involved; - the setting-up of an advisory body on drug dependency with representation from each Member State and with national committees as the central point of reference for all the many agencies involved, including non-governmental organisations. The ESC recommended that a broader approach be taken to encourage the promotion of healthier lifestyles rather than the narrow, negative approach epitomised by the ‘say no to drugs’ campaign in the USA. The ESC was broadly in favour of the Commission’s recommendation in all three areas of activity: 1) improving public awareness, in particular by means of coordinated transnational activities; 2) capitalising on the opportunities in other Community policies, programmes and instruments to prevent and combat drug dependency; 3) initiatives and actions relating to young people of school-going age in relevant environments and promotion of best practices in this regard. The ESC recommended that extra funding should be given to those border towns where the prevalence of drug addiction was particularly high. In conclusion, it endorsed the Commission’s initiative in this area, recognising the urgent need to support: 1) the evaluation of current research and practices; 2) the promotion and evaluation of innovative programmes, particularly in education; 3) the exchange of information and experience. type: Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report body: ESC

Finally, the rapporteur wanted the European Drug Observatory to be made an operational centre that would assist NGOs above all. On behalf of the RDE Group, Mr CABROL (F) stated that he opposed Amendment No 28, which called for coordination with the three other pillars to prevent drug addiction. He also opposed Amendment No 40, which excluded the representatives of the Member States who had not had any experience of voluntary work from the committee responsible for implementation of the programme, and Amendment No 54 as he did not believe that treating drug addicts was the responsibility of the Union. Commissioner Flynn supported around 20 of the amendments that clarified the Commission’s text. However, he rejected Amendments Nos 2, 3, 5, 15, 35, 37, 41, 42, 43 and 53 (improving scientific knowledge) as they went beyond the scope of this programme (for example Amendment No 37, which aimed to provide special aid, within the framework of development cooperation, to the drug-producing countries in their efforts to control domestic demand). He was also opposed to Amendments Nos 1, 6, 8, 11, 12, 22, 52, 54, and 55 to 62, which made a political judgement about the international strategy (for example Amendment No 55, which set out common ideas on the evaluation of the legitimacy and effectiveness of prohibitionist legislation). Finally, he rejected Amendments Nos 4, 7, 10, 14, 16, 17, 18, 23, 25, 27, 32, 44 to 46 and 51, which proposed a less flexible system than that suggested by the Commission: Amendment No 44 = instead of regular information, an annual report on the implementation of the programme, Amendment No 45 = specifying 30 September of each year as the deadline, Amendment No 46 = enabling the Commission to change its priorities among the various prevention activities in view of the changeable nature of drug demand. Supporting its rapporteur, Parliament referred this report back to the Committee on the Environment for examination of the Commission’s position.

Unfortunately, the committee had once again put to the vote the amendments deemed to be fundamental, in spite of the disagreement with the Commissioner. The aim of the programme was to reduce the demand for drugs and to provide a solution for young drug addicts through preventive measures. These measures should be accompanied by a programme for the rehabilitation and reintegration of young drug addicts. The programme also related to young people who felt neglected because they did not want to leave the tunnel of drugs and thus risked dying as a result of an overdose or AIDS. As regards the debate between the prohibitionists and the anti-prohibitionists, the rapporteur felt that the latter’s argument, which was that soft drugs were not harmful to health, had not been proven; it was important to be cautious, especially as regards the use of designer drugs. There was no proof that lifting the ban on the use of soft drugs would reduce dependency; on the contrary, it risked encouraging the use of drugs, including harder drugs, since people often moved from softer drugs to harder drugs. Commissioner Flynn recalled that this programme was only one of the European Union’s strategies to combat drug addiction. That was why many of the amendments tabled by Parliament would be more appropriate in the context of other initiatives. He called for a pragmatic approach that focused on the most pertinent priorities in light of the limited resources. Mr Flynn stated that it would be difficult for the Commission to adjust its proposals unless Parliament revised its amendments (with the exception of Amendment No 2). He felt that a number of amendments provided a political assessment of national or international strategies and thus went beyond the competences laid down in Article 129 of the Treaty. Another group of amendments (including the amendment on the committee procedure) also went beyond the scope of the programme. A final more formal group of amendments contained less flexible or more restrictive wording than initially proposed by the Commission. Lastly, Amendment No 61, which related to the prevention of drugs, could be taken over in part.

He believed that strict measures were needed and that it was also important to promote dialogue and to cooperate with those working in the field. He expressed his disagreement with some of the amendments tabled by his Group and announced that he would vote against the proposal. Mr Burtone was opposed to legalising all drugs and was also against criminalising drug addicts, as prison was a fertile ground for the distribution of drugs. In conclusion, he called for the adoption of a rehabilitation and reintegration programme for addicts. The Commissioner, Mr Flynn, said that the Commission had introduced 21 amendments adopted by Parliament in its modified proposal. The Commissioner added that the common position of the Council was not acceptable to the Commission for two essential reasons. Firstly, the Council wanted to reduce the budget allocation (from ECU 28.5 million to ECU 27.5 million), while at the same time extending the scope of the programme. Secondly, the Commission was of the opinion that a consultative committee would be preferable to the management committee being proposed in the common position. Finally, the Commissioner stated that 12 of the amendments tabled by Parliament could be taken over by the Commission: Amendments Nos 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 15 to 17, 26 to 28 and 31.

He went on to say that Europe had rejected moves to legalise drugs, which would have led to the creation of a ‘state drug’. He therefore recommended a policy of prevention, while calling for better education and information and greater participation by families, schools and NGOs so that young drug addicts were helped to re-integrate themselves back into society. The rapporteur welcomed the fact that the programme would provide support for combating drugs at street level in order to help high-risk groups; emphasis had also been put on the role of the addict’s family and immediate social circle, parties who could benefit from the programme and from the exchange of information it provided. Commissioner Monti declared that rather than imposing one single policy the Commission was keen to listen to a range of debates on this issue in order to compare the different methods and solutions being proposed. As far as the programme was concerned, the Commissioner promised that both public and private bodies as well as NGOs offering care and treatment and providing social welfare services would be involved in implementing the scheme.
