Komisjoni teatis Nõukogule ja Euroopa Parlamendile ELi uimastistrateegia ja uimastivastase tegevuskava (2000–2004) lõpphindamise tulemuste kohta /* KOM/2004/0707 lõplik */
Brüssel 22.10.2004 KOM(2004)707 lõplik KOMISJONI TEATIS NÕUKOGULE JA EUROOPA PARLAMENDILE ELi uimastistrateegia ja uimastivastase tegevuskava (2000-2004) lõpphindamise tulemuste kohta 1. ELI UIMASTISTRATEEGIA JA UIMASTIVASTANE TEGEVUSKAVA (2000-2004) 1999. aastal esitas komisjon teatise Euroopa Liidu uimastivastase võitluse tegevuskava (2000-2004) kohta[1]. Selle põhjal kinnitas Euroopa Ülemkogu Helsingi tippkohtumisel ELi uimastistrateegia aastateks 2000-2004[2]. See strateegia nõuab distsipliinidevahelist ja terviklikku lähenemist uimastitele, milles uimastinõudluse ja -pakkumise vähendamist peetakse võrdselt oluliseks ning tasakaalustatud strateegia üksteist toetavateks osadeks. 2000. aasta juunis võttis Euroopa Ülemkogu Feira tippkohtumisel vastu ELi uimastivastase tegevuskava 2000-2004[3]. Selles tegevuskavas oli ELi uimastistrateegia teisendatud umbes sajaks konkreetseks tegevuseks, mille teostajateks olid kavandatud liikmesriigid, komisjon, Euroopa Uimastite ja Uimastisõltuvuse Seirekeskus (EMCDDA) ja Europol. Tegevuskavas on öeldud, et komisjon peab korraldama kohase hindamise ELi uimastistrateegia 2000-2004 vaheetapis ja lõpulejõudmisel. Novembris 2002 esitas komisjon teatise vahehindamise kohta[4]. Käesolevas teatises on ära toodud lõpphindamise tulemused ja sellega pannakse alus ELi uimastipoliitika edaspidisele hindamisele praeguse poliitika rakendamisest õpitu põhjal. 2. LÕPPHINDAMISE EESMÄRK JA KÄIK 2.1. Eesmärk Lõpphindamise eesmärk on hinnata tegevuskavas sätestatud tegevuste elluviimise ulatust, hinnata, mil määral see vastab uimastistrateegia eesmärkidele, ning hinnata nii uimastistrateegia kui tegevuskava mõju Euroopa Liidu uimastiolukorrale. Uimastipoliitika mõju hindamine on veel arengujärgus ning täpsete ja kvantifitseeritavate tegevuseesmärkide puudumine praeguses uimastistrateegias ja tegevuskavas ei tee seda ülesannet lihtsamaks. Ent mõju hindamise ning tulevikus uute strateegiate ja poliitikate vastuvõtmisel kvaliteedistandarditeks sobivate peamiste näitajate ja vahendite määratlemise protsess on alanud. 2.2. Protsess Hindamine algas 2003. aasta aprillis juhtrühma loomisega (kuhu kuulusid komisjoni, 2003.-2004. aastal eesistujaiks olnud nelja liikmesriigi, EMCDDA ja Europoli esindajad) lõpphindamise kontrollimiseks ja selle suhtes juhtnööride andmiseks. See rühm on kohtunud neljal korral hindamisvahendite ja -meetodite kindlaksmääramiseks ning hindamisprotsessi järelevalveks. 2003. aasta novembris saadeti tolleaegsetele liikmesriikidele[5] küsimustik, et saada üksikasjalikku teavet nende täidetud üldisesse tegevuskavasse kuuluvate ülesannete kohta (lisa 1). Sarnane järelkontrolli tabel saadeti komisjoni asjaomastele talitustele, EMCDDAle ja Europolile (lisa 2). EMCDDA ja komisjon valmistasid ette seeria temaatilisi dokumente, mis keskendusid uimastiprobleemi üksikutele aspektidele[6]. EMCDDA koostas koos Europoliga statistilise hetkeülevaate, mis sisaldab põhiandmeid uimastiolukorra kohta 1999. ja 2002.-2003. aastal[7]. 2004. aasta aprillis ja mais viidi läbi Eurobaromeetri uuring noorte seisukohtade ja arusaamade kohta seoses uimastitega[8]. Peamisi saadud tulemusi võrreldakse sarnase 2002. aastal läbi viidud uuringu tulemustega. Lisaks sellele võeti arvesse lõpparuannet õiguskaitse ja selle rolli kohta uimastikaubandusega võitlemisel[9], sünteetiliste uimastite pakkumisega[10] ning pakkumise ja nõudluse vähendamisega seotud rakenduskavasid[11], nõukogu poolt heaks kiidetud aruannet nende elluviimisel tehtud edusammude kohta[12] ja muid algatusi (lisa 3). Erinevatest allikatest võetud andmeid analüüsiti, et esile tuua perioodi peamised saavutused ja valdkonnad, kus on vaja edasisi edusamme. Neid kasutati ka selleks, et hinnata tegevuskavas sätestatud tegevuste elluviimise ulatust ja seda, mil määral aitas tegevuskava elluviimine saavutada uimastistrateegia eesmärke. Statistilise hetkeülevaate põhjal hinnatakse uimastistrateegia ja tegevuskava mõju uimastiolukorrale. Lõpphindamiseks muretsetud andmed käivad 1999. aasta kuni 2004. aasta juuni kohta. 3. PEAMISED SAAVUTUSED JA VALDKONNAD, MILLES TULEB EDUSAMME TEHA 3.1. Kooskõlastamine Saavutused siseriiklikul tasandil - 1999. aastast saadik on liikmesriigid vastu võtnud enamarendatud siseriiklikke uimastistrateegiaid. Enamik neist hõlmab kõiki uimastitega seotud tegevusvaldkondi. - Liikmesriikides on hakatud rohkem teadvustama, et uimastivaldkonnas on vaja distsipliinidevahelist kooskõlastamist. Kõik liikmesriigid tunnistavad, et see on uimastipoliitika oluline element, isegi kui kooskõlastamise mõiste on üheselt määratlemata. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb siseriiklikul tasandil edusamme teha - Siseriiklikku uimastialast kooskõlastamist tuleb laiendada kõikidele uimastipoliitika valdkondadele, sealhulgas korrapäraselt konsulteerida kodanikuühiskonnaga. - Eelnev laiem kooskõlastamine siseriiklikul tasandil (nt rahvatervise, justiits- ja siseküsimuste, välissuhete ja rahandusega tegelevate ametiasutuste vahel) aitaks delegatsioonidel nõukogus oma seisukohti selgesti väljendada. Saavutused ELi tasandil - Tegevuskava vastuvõtmisest saadik on siseriiklike uimastivastase tegevuse kooskõlastajate kohtumised toimunud kaks korda aastas. - Komisjon andis 2003. aastal välja teatise uimastialase kooskõlastamise kohta. Arutatud on dokumenti horisontaalse uimastivastase rühma vaadete kohta seoses selle teatisega. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb ELi tasandil edusamme teha - Tuleb tagada kohased järelmeetmed seoses komisjoni teatisega uimastialase kooskõlastamise kohta. Siseriiklike kooskõlastajate kohtumised peaksid pöörama enam tähelepanu konkreetsetele küsimustele. - Komisjon peaks tugevdama ja tõhustama oma sisemisi kooskõlastusmehhanisme: tuleb nähtavamalt ja toimivamalt kooskõlastada kõikide uimastialaste dokumentidega seotud talitusi. Jätkuma peaksid komisjoni struktuurilised sidemed EMCDDAga. - Uimastiküsimustega tegelevate nõukogu töörühmade vahel ei ole selget tööjaotust. Horisontaalse uimastivastase rühma kohustuseks peaks olema erinevate rühmade uimastialase töö kooskõlastamine. - ELi uimastipoliitika formuleerimisel ei ole korrapäraselt konsulteeritud kodanikuühiskonnaga ja selline konsulteerimine peaks muutuma korrapäraseks nähtuseks. Seda hakatakse käsitlema komisjoni 2005. aasta teatises. 3.2. Teabevahetus ja hindamine Saavutused siseriiklikul tasandil - Uimastialaste andmete kättesaadavus ja kvaliteet on enamikus liikmesriikides paranenud nagu ka eriomasteks teavitamis- ja hindamistegevusteks vajalik poliitiline toetus. - Kõik liikmesriigid on nõustunud kohaldama viit peamist epidemioloogilist näitajat[13] ning esitama võrreldavaid ja konsolideeritud andmeid. - Mõned liikmesriigid on teinud edusamme uimastivastase tegevuse tõhususe hindamiseks sobivate vahendite väljaarendamisel. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb siseriiklikul tasandil edusamme teha - Parandada tuleks siseriiklike uimastistrateegiate ja tegevuskavade süstemaatilist järelevalvet. Edusamme on vaja ka nende elluviimise korrapärase hindamise tagamiseks. - Liikmesriigid peaksid tegema jõupingutusi epidemioloogiliste näitajate täielikuks rakendamiseks. - Paremini tuleb teavitada uimastivaldkonna riiklikest kulutustest ja analüüsida poliitikatega kaasnevate kulude tõhusust. Saavutused ELi tasandil - Uimastialaste andmete ja teabe kättesaadavus ja kvaliteet on paranenud peamiselt tänu EMCDDA ja siseriiklike teabekeskuste tööle. - Lõpphindamise protsessiga on kaasnenud peamiste metodoloogiliste vahendite väljaarendamine ja juhtrühma loomine, mille raames võib toimuda ELi uimastipoliitika edaspidine hindamine. - Paranenud on teabe vahetamine uimastitarvitamises tekkivate suundumuste kohta, seda osaliselt seoses varase hoiatuse süsteemi loomisega sünteetiliste uimastite alase ühistegevuse raames.[14] Valdkonnad, milles tuleb ELi tasandil edusamme teha - Uimastitega seotud kuritegevuse kohta on teavet liiga vähe ja kohaste näitajate osas tuleb teha rohkem tööd, võttes arvesse EMCDDA ja Europoli selles valdkonnas tehtud tööd. - Parandada tuleb uimastitarvitamises tekkivate suundumuste jälgimismehhanisme. Selliste suundumuste uurimist tuleb edasi arendada. 3.3. Nõudluse vähendamine Saavutused siseriiklikul tasandil - Vajadus varakult alustada ennetustegevust on kõikidele liikmesriikidele selge. Nad on asjaomaseid eksperte ja kodanikuühiskonda kaasates loonud ülemaailmseid ennetusprogramme. - Järjest enam rakendatakse eriomaseid ennetusprojekte, mille eesmärgiks on lahendada mitme uimasti tarvitamise ning legaalsete ja illegaalsete ainete kuritarvitamise probleem. Teavituskampaaniad on järjest enam suunatud sihtrühmadele ning käsitlevad riskikäitumist ja sõltuvust üldisemalt. - Enamik liikmesriike on suurendanud raviteenustele eraldatavaid summasid ja nende teenuste kättesaadavust ning mitmekesistanud ravivõimaluste valikut. - Kõikides liikmesriikides pööratakse rohkem tähelepanu uimasteid tarvitavatele õigusrikkujatele, mida illustreerib vangistuse asemel sagedasem kogukonnapõhiste alternatiivide kasutamine ning psühhosotsiaalse ja tervisealase abi parem kättesaadavus vanglates. - Kõik liikmesriigid on uurinud illegaalsetest uimastitest ja ravimitest mõjustatud sõidukijuhtimise tagajärgi ning mõned neist on kasutusele võtnud rangemad kontrollmeetmed. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb siseriiklikul tasandil edusamme teha - Korrapärasemalt tuleks hinnata uimastisõltuvusega seotud tervisekahjude vähendamiseks mõeldud meetmete tõhusust ja ravimeetmeid. - Liikmesriigid peaksid kehtestama uimastiennetuse ning uimastisõltuvusega seotud tervisekahjude vähendamise valdkondades töötajatele tunnustatud kvalifikatsioonid. Saavutused ELi tasandil - Nõukogu võttis vastu mitu resolutsiooni uimastiennetuse küsimuste kohta (vrd 3. lisaga). - Ühenduse uimastisõltuvuse ennetamise tegevuskava (1996-2002)[15] ja uus rahvaterviseprogramm (2003-2008)[16] on aidanud rahastada uimastiennetuse projekte. Esilekerkiv küsimus on ravi. - 2003. aastal võeti vastu nõukogu soovitus uimastisõltuvusega seotud tervisekahjude ennetamise ja vähendamise kohta[17]. - Vastu on võetud Euroopa Ühenduse maanteeohutuse tegevuskava[18] ja nõukogu resolutsioon, mis käsitleb võitlemist psühhoaktiivsete ainete tarvitamise mõjuga liiklusõnnetustes[19]. Mõlemas võetakse arvesse alkoholi, uimastite ja ravimite mõju sõidukijuhtimisele. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb ELi tasandil edusamme teha - EL peaks soodustama uimastitarvitamise ja -sõltuvuse taga olevate biomeditsiiniliste, psühhosotsiaalsete ja muude tegurite edasist uurimist, eriti valdkondades (nt kannabise või sünteetiliste uimastite pikaajaline tarvitamine), kus selliseid uuringuid pole veel eriti tehtud. - Parandada tuleks usaldusväärse ja kvaliteetse teabe ning parimate tavade levitamist. - Komisjon teostab järelkontrolli eelnimetatud 2003. aasta nõukogu soovituse peamiste punktide osas. 3.4. Pakkumise vähendamine Saavutused siseriiklikul tasandil - Enamikes liikmesriikides on õiguskaitseasutuste vahelist kooskõlastamist parandatud selliste struktuuride ja tegevuste nagu politsei/tolli ühisrühmad, ühisoperatsioonid ja vastastikuse mõistmise memorandumid loomise ja tugevdamise kaudu. - Nüüd paistavad rohkem liikmesriike olevat suutelised toimima kooskõlas ÜRO 1988. aasta narkootiliste ja psühhotroopsete ainete ebaseadusliku ringluse vastase konventsiooni artikliga 17 (ebaseaduslik ringlus meritsi). - Kõik liikmesriigid on siseriiklikkusse õigusesse üle võtnud esimese rahapesuvastase direktiivi[20] ja 11 neist on üle võtnud selle muutmisdirektiivi[21]. Lisaks sellele on liikmesriigid kasutusele võtnud uued meetmed rahapesu vähendamiseks, nagu volitused tehingu peatamiseks ja suuremad volitused suuri rahasummasid importivate reisijate kontrollimiseks. - 10 liikmesriiki on üle võtnud ühiseid uurimisrühmi käsitleva nõukogu raamotsuse[22] sätted ja/või ratifitseerinud ELi konventsiooni vastastikuse õigusabi kohta kriminaalasjades[23] või viidanud, et olemasolevad õigusaktid võimaldavad juba selliste rühmade loomist. - 10 liikmesriiki on ratifitseerinud tolliasutuste vastastikuse abi ja koostöö konventsiooni (Napoli II)[24]. 14 liikmesriiki on ratifitseerinud infotehnoloogia tolliotstarbelise kasutamise konventsiooni (CIS)[25]. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb siseriiklikul tasandil edusamme teha - Need liikmesriigid, mis ei ole teatanud, et neil on olemas ametlikud struktuurid nende siseriiklike õiguskaitseasutuste koostööks, peaksid kaaluma selliste ametlike struktuuride loomist. - Liikmesriigid peaksid tagama, et neil oleks paika pandud vajalikud menetlused, mis võimaldaksid neil tegutseda kooskõlas ÜRO 1088. aasta konventsiooni artikliga 17, ning peaksid kaaluma juhendi koostamist selle rakendamise kohta. - Liikmesriigid, mis ei ole seda teinud, peaksid üle võtma teise rahapesuvastase direktiivi[26], nõukogu raamotsuse ühiste uurimisrühmade kohta ja/või ratifitseerima ELi konventsiooni vastastikuse õigusabi kohta kriminaalasjades ning ratifitseerima Napoli II ja CIS konventsiooni. Saavutused ELi tasandil - ELi tasandil koostöö õiguskaitseasutuste vahel on paranenud tänu struktuuride loomisele ja tugevdamisele, Europoli ja Eurojusti tegevustele, nagu ühisuurimised, ühised tollioperatsioonid, merenduskoostöö, ühisrühmad ning politsei ja tolli koostöökeskused. - On loodud ja kestavad mitmed ELi projektid (nt CASE, EELS ja EILSC), mille eesmärgiks on avastada sünteetiliste uimastite valmistamist ja nendega kaubitsemist. - Alates 2000. aastast on sünteetiliste uimastite valdkonna ühistegevuse põhjal kehtestatud viie aine suhtes kogu ELi hõlmavad kontrollmeetmed. - ELi rahastamisprogrammid nagu AGIS[27] on mänginud olulist rolli koostöö edendamisel liikmesriikide õiguskaitseasutuste vahel. - On saavutatud poliitiline kokkulepe nõukogu raamotsuse suhtes, millega sätestatakse miinimumnõuded kuritegude koosseisu ja karistuste kohta ebaseadusliku uimastikaubanduse valdkonnas[28]. Peagi on oodata selle ametlikku vastuvõtmist. - Vastu on võetud Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrus uimastite lähteainete kohta (ühendusesisese kaubanduse osas).[29] Komisjon on esitanud ettepaneku nõukogu määruseks uimastite lähteainete väliskaubanduse kohta[30] . - OLAF on edendanud olulist teabevahetust seoses lähteainete leviku ohuga ning jätkab Yachtinfo ja Marinfo süsteemide toetamist. - Arutlusel on alatise operatsioonide kooskõlastamise üksuse loomine ühiste tollioperatsioonide toetamiseks. - Komisjon on vastu võtnud ettepaneku kolmanda rahapesuvastase direktiivi kohta[31]. - Nõukogu otsuse[32] vastuvõtmine rahapesu andmebüroode vahelise teabevahetuse kohta on taganud parema koostööraamistiku. - Mitmed liikmesriigid osalevad aruteludel ühisrühmade loomise kohta ning nende politsei- ja justiitsasutustele üksteise territooriumidel tegutsemiseks täiendavate, ulatuslikumate volituste andmise kohta. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb ELi tasandil edusamme teha - Liikmesriigid peaksid looma ühised uurimisrühmad tegelemaks nendevahelise uimastikaubandusega, nagu on ette nähtud nõukogu raamotsuses ja konventsioonis. - Arutada tuleks liikmesriikide õiguskaitseasutuste vaheliste ühisoperatsioonide edasiarendamist. Nende operatsioonide korraldamisest ja tulemustest tuleks teatada nõukogule ja komisjonile. - Otsida tuleks arenguvõimalusi seoses sünteetiliste uimastite valmistamise ja nendega kauplemise tõkestamiseks mõeldud operatsioonidega. Selles tegevuses võiksid olla kasulikuks lähtepunktiks komisjoni soovitused jaotusvõrkude kaardistamise kohta. - Täielikult tuleks rakendada nõukogu soovitust uimastite ja lähteainetega seotud õiguserikkumiste statistika reguleerimise kohta[33]. - Euroopa Parlament ja nõukogu peaksid niipea kui võimalik vastu võtma kolmanda rahapesuvastase direktiivi. 3.5. Laienemine Ehkki laienemine toimus vaid kaheksa kuud enne uimastistrateegias käsitletava perioodi lõppu, on uimastivastased algatused ELi õigustiku osa. Kõik liikmesriigid ja kaks kandidaatriiki on vabatahtlikult vastanud komisjoni küsimustikule[34]. Kokkuvõte neist andmetest on ära toodud eraldi aruandes. Saavutused - PHARE programm ja muud asjakohased ühenduse programmid on olnud uutele liikmesriikidele ja kandidaatriikidele õigustiku uimastialaste osade tutvustamisel eriti kasulikud. - Peaaegu kõik liikmesriigid on aidanud uusi liikmesriike nende jõupingutustes uimastite kuritarvitamise ja uimastikaubandusega võitlemisel. Liikmesriigid on samamoodi aidanud ka kandidaatriike. - Kõik uued liikmesriigid on õigustiku uimastialased osad oma siseriiklikku õigusesse üle võtnud ja kandidaatriikides on see protsess praegu käimas. - Õigustiku justiits- ja siseküsimuste peatükk on Bulgaaria puhul ajutiselt suletud ning läbirääkimised Rumeeniaga edenevad. - Bulgaaria, Rumeenia ja Türgiga on parafeeritud kokkulepped nende osalemise kohta EMCDDA töös. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb edusamme teha - Liikmesriigi ja kandidaatriigid peaksid tegema tihedat koostööd õigustiku uimastialaste osade rakendamisel. - Uued liikmesriigid peaksid täielikult ära kasutama AGISt ja muid asjakohaseid programme, et edendada koostööd teiste liikmesriikidega. - Kolme kandidaatriigiga sõlmitud kokkulepped, mis võimaldavad neil osaleda EMCDDA töös, peaksid jõustuma niipea kui võimalik. - PHARE programm ja muud ühenduse programmid peaksid jätkama kandidaatriikidele uimastivaldkonnas abi andmist. 3.6. Rahvusvaheline koostöö Saavutused siseriiklikul tasandil - Liikmesriigid annavad kolmandatele riikidele kahepoolset uimastialast abi ja/või abi ÜRO uimastite ja kuritegevuse vastase võitluse büroo (UNODC) kaudu. - Mitmed liikmesriigid teevad kolmandate riikidega koostööd rahapesuvastaste süsteemide väljaarendamiseks ja parandamiseks. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb siseriiklikul tasandil edusamme teha - Kõik liikmesriigid peaksid süstemaatiliselt täiendama komisjoni loodud andmebaasi kandidaatriikidele ja kolmandatele riikidele uimastivaldkonnas antava tehnilise abi projektide kohta. - Liikmesriigid peaksid korrapäraselt teavitama nõukogu ja komisjoni oma kahepoolsetest tegevustest kolmandates riikides ja regioonides. Saavutused ELi tasandil - Komisjon keskendab oma jõupingutused kahele peamisele uimastite ELi toomise marsruudile. - Komisjon on korrapärasel teavitanud nõukogu oma uimastialasest abist kolmandatele riikidele/regioonidele ja parandatud tervikprotsessist, mille kaudu ta rahastab kolmandate riikide/regioonide uimastivastaseid projekte. - Euroopa naabruspoliitika kontekstis on arutlusel tegevuskavad mitmete riikidega. Tavaliselt kuulub nendesse kavadesse uimastitega seotud jagu. - Kõik asjaomased ühenduse ja ELi välislepingud sisaldavad erisätteid uimastite kohta. Valdkonnad, milles tuleb ELi tasandil edusamme teha - Liikmesriigid ja komisjon peaksid endiselt tagama ELi kooskõlastatud seisukohtade esitamise uimastiküsimustega tegelevatel rahvusvahelistel foorumitel, eriti ÜRO narkootikumidevastases komisjonis. - Liikmesriigid ja komisjon peaksid jätkuvalt seostama Kesk-Aasiale, Ladina-Ameerikale ning Kariibi mere ja Lääne-Balkani riikidele antavat uimastialast abi nende regioonidega kokku lepitud uimastivastaste tegevuskavade rakendamisega. Selles seoses võiks kaaluda kohast rahastamismehhanismi. - On vaja tagada, et maailma erinevate regioonidega seotud uute ELi uimastivastaste tegevuskavadega kaasneks nende rakendamiseks vajalike vahendite eraldamine. - Liikmesriikide uimastieksperdid peaksid jätkama aktiivset osalemist uimastiküsimuste rõhutamisel, kui koostatakse või vaadatakse üle riiklikke või regionaalseid programme. Geograafiliste töörühmade ja horisontaalse uimastivastase rühma töö kooskõlastamine peaks olema parem. - Tuleks jälgida ja arvesse võtta uusi uimastitarvitamise ja -tootmisega seotud ohuolukordi ja suundumusi teatavates riikides ja regioonides. - Uimastivaldkonnas tuleks kooskõlastamiseks täielikult ära kasutada olemasolevad mehhanismid nagu Dublini rühm. 4. JÄRELDUSED I. Hinnang tegevuskavas sätestatud tegevuste elluviimise ulatusele - Umbes 95 protsenti ELi uimastivastases tegevuskavas sätestatud tegevustest on ellu viidud või on mingis elluviimise etapis. - ELi uimastistrateegia ja tegevuskava on võetud tegevuse keskseks lähtepunktiks ja on raamistikuks uimastivastastele tegevustele ja algatustele siseriiklikul ja ELi tasandil. - Peaaegu kõik liikmesriigid on vastu võtnud siseriikliku uimastistrateegia või tegevuskava. Nende siseriiklike uimastistrateegiate elementidel on ühiseid jooni ELi lähenemisega, mida on kirjeldatud ELi uimastistrateegias ja tegevuskavas. II. Hinnang sellele, mil määral aitas tegevuskava elluviimine saavutada uimastistrateegia eesmärke - Tegevuskava elluviimine on kahtlemata vähemal või suuremal määral kaasa aidanud ELi uimastistrateegia 11 eesmärgi saavutamisele. III. Hinnang uimastiolukorrale avaldatud mõjule - Vähemalt mingil määral on tehtud edusamme mõningate ELi uimastistrateegia eesmärkide (eesmärgi 2 ja eriti eesmärgi 3) saavutamisel[35]. - Hindamisvahendite põhjal pole kindlaid tõendeid toetamaks väidet, et saavutatud on eesmärk 1 vähendada märkimisväärselt uimastitarvitamise levikut või et vähem noori tarvitab uimasteid. Ent hetkeülevaate andmed viitavad sellele, et üldiselt on näha uimastitarvitamise leviku kasvutrendi peatumist, kuigi see toimub tasemel, mida võib pidada enneolematult kõrgeks. - Samamoodi ei viita kättesaadav teave sellele, et uimastite kättesaadavus oleks oluliselt vähenenud (eesmärk 4). Samal ajal on eesmärgid 4 ja 5 koos olnud katalüsaatoriks mitmetele ELi tasandi algatustele, mis on tugevdanud uimastikaubanduse ja -pakkumise vastaseid õiguskaitsemeetmeid. - Samuti on käivitatud mitmed olulised algatused rahapesuga võitlemiseks (eesmärk 6.1). Eesmärgiga 6.2 seoses osalevad liikmesriigid mitmes olulises algatuses võitlemaks lähteainete levikuga, nagu Euroopa lähteainetevastases ühisüksuses. On tehtud olulisi ettepanekuid ühenduse õigusaktide muutmiseks lähteainetekaubanduse kontrollimise valdkonnas. 5. ETTEPANEKUD - ELi uimastistrateegia peaks sisaldama selgeid ja täpseid eesmärke ja prioriteete, mida saab teisendada tegevuslikeks näitajateks ja tegevusteks tulevastes tegevuskavades, ning selgelt määratletud kohustusi ja tegevuste elluviimistähtaegu. Neid eesmärke ja prioriteete püstitades tuleks arvesse võtta infosüsteeme ja hindamisvahendeid. - Tuleks jätkata edusamme uimastiolukorra jälgimise teabe kättesaadavuse, kvaliteedi ja võrreldavuse osas. - Komisjon esitab 2005. aasta alguses ettepaneku uimastivastase tegevuskava 2005-2008 kohta. Lisaks sellele koostab komisjon selle tegevuskava elluviimise kohta iga-aastase eduaruande ja korraldab 2008. aastal selle mõju hindamise, pidades silmas ettepaneku tegemist teise tegevuskava kohta aastateks 2009-2012. Aastatel 2009-2012 jätkab komisjon iga-aastaste eduaruannete koostamist. 2012. aastal korraldab komisjon ELi uimastistrateegia ja tegevuskavade üldise hindamise. Hinnang esitatakse nõukogule ja Euroopa Parlamendile. - Uue uimastistrateegia ja tegevuskavade eesmärgid peaksid kajastuma mitmeaastases programmis, mis kindlustab vabadusel, turvalisusel ja õigusel rajaneva ala. - Nõukogu horisontaalse uimastivastase rühma töö peaks peamiselt keskenduma edasiliikumisele ja tulevastes ELi uimastivastastes tegevuskavades sätestatud tegevuste elluviimise jälgimisele ning juhtrolli mängimisele nõukogu teiste rühmade uimastialase töö kooskõlastamisel. - Uimastivaldkonnas on elluviimisel palju huvitavaid ja kasulikke tegevusi.

ANNEX 1 Summary of 15 Member States responses to the questionnaire on the implementation of the EU Action Plan on Drugs (2000-2004) 1. Co-ordination 1.2.2 What steps has your country taken towards the establishment or the strengthening of the national co-ordination mechanisms since 1999? Has your country appointed a National Drugs Co-ordinator in the related period? Does your country envisage carrying out or has your country carried out an evaluation of the co-ordination mechanisms? All Member States recognise the importance of coordinating the activities of the multiple actors involved in the drugs issue. They report to have mechanisms in place for coordinating their national drugs policies. Member States have adopted different models of coordination, depending on their national administrative structures and on the aspects of the fight against drugs they intend to focus on; some have interdepartmental committees, some have appointed national drug coordinators (e.g. France, Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal, Italy, Spain and Sweden) and/or established dedicated coordination units or bodies (e.g. Austria, Greece, Ireland, Finland). Some, however, lack coordination mechanisms that cover all aspects. Few Member States provide for evaluation of their coordination mechanisms. 1.2.4 In what way has your country ensured a balanced and multidisciplinary approach in national drugs programmes and policies and their implementation? The importance of maintaining a multidisciplinary and balanced approach is clearly recognised by all Member States. Most have adopted a national plan or strategy on drugs (Belgium Denmark, Greece, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and the UK). 1.3.2 Has your country developed a specific strategy for co-operation with civil society regarding drug abuse? Please give details. Most Member States make provisions for involving civil society in the fields of prevention, health care and treatment, mainly at local level. Most of them also consult civil society on an ad hoc basis, e.g. for specific projects. Many Member States mention financial support for community groups and organisations as a way of cooperating with civil society. Some countries (Germany, Greece, Ireland, and Sweden) have more regular contacts with the networks of NGOs, the voluntary sector, associations, etc. These countries recognise the importance of linking policy making and practice through dialogue with civil society, but also refer to the supporting work done by these organisations to influence public opinion. 1.4.2. In which way has your country encouraged the provision of funding for the prevention of drug use, the prevention of drug related crime, the reduction of the negative health and social consequences of drugs and other proactive measures? Public expenditure on prevention and risk reduction programmes and measures are different from one country to another depending on the national administrative structure, ministerial budgets and social security systems. Some Member States (Belgium, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, and United Kingdom) indicate an increase of funding for drug-demand reduction. 1.5 In which way has your country shared information with other Member States on national strategies and action plans? Has your country made use of the EMCDDA database on drug laws, the Falcone and OISIN programmes or any other tools for information exchange and operational co-operation? Please describe. Member States consider other national measures, strategies and action plans as useful examples for orienting their own national debate. Very often information exchange is made via bilateral contacts and visits. The Horizontal Drugs Group and the meetings of the national coordinators are recognised as important occasions to share information and views. All Member States acknowledge the importance of learning from the others and quote internet as an important source of information. Most of them report regular input and consultation of the EMCDDA databases (EDDRA, ELDD). As far as law enforcement information sharing is concerned, most Member States mention the Europol national liaison officers. All Member States were able to take part in joint projects co-financed by the Commission's OISIN and/or the Falcone programmes. Since 2003 XXX (can we give a figure??) have received funding under the new AGIS programme[36]. 2. Information and Evaluation 2.1.1 and 2.1.4 Does your country fully or partly provide information on the 5 key epidemiological indicators of the EMCDDA? If your country does not fully provide information on the 5 key epidemiological indicators when do you believe you will be in a position to do so? Please give brief description of the evolution of political and financial support to implement the 5 harmonised key indicators. All Member States have established systems for the gathering and treatment of data which will provide comparable and reliable data on the 5 key epidemiologic indicators, and most Member States are able to provide (partial) information on all indicators. In order to improve the data quality of the used sources and to alleviate the lack of information on some indicators, Member States have introduced the necessary amendments in their legislative systems, organised special workgroups composed of representatives from various Ministries, services, and NGOs specialised in the fight against drugs and actively participated in EMCDDA workshops In most Member States, political and financial support provided by the government for establishing the five indicators (particularly through the national budget to the REITOX Network) is considered sufficient. 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 Which measures are used in your country to assess the effectiveness of preventing and combating organised drug related crime? What kind of crime and policy indicators has your country developed? Has your country drafted an annual assessment on the role of organised crime groups involved in drug trafficking? No unanimity exists among member States on the methodology used to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive actions and measures to fight organised crime related to drug-trafficking, but all annual reports include statistics which illustrate the number of confiscations and their quantities, the share of dismantled clandestine laboratories, the number of arrests, the number of drug-related deaths and other indicators of repressive actions by the relevant agencies. Member States contribute to the annual EU Organised Crime report, which includes a section on drugs, in accordance with the criteria set out in Enfopol 35 Rev 2 (21.4.1997). Some Member States undertake further research on the linkage between drug phenomena and criminal activities, e.g. Ireland's public surveys on the nature of the policing, the visibility and perception of crime, including drug related crime. 3. Reduction of Demand, Prevention of Drug Use and of Drug Related Crime 3.1.1.1 Does your country have general programmes for the prevention of both licit and illicit drug use, including poly-drug use? In which way, if any, does your country encourage the inclusion of drug use prevention in school curricula? Are there programmes set-up to assist parents? If yes, please describe briefly. Member States underline the importance of prevention, and the need for better and accurate information campaigns and prevention programmes focused on the promotion of health as well as on the personal and social development of the young people. Prevention programmes can involve, among many other measures, the creation of prevention centres, specific training for experts and civil society (teachers, parents, support organisations...), health professionals and even representatives of the law enforcement services, working in the school environment and among young people. The importance of regular cooperation with young people's associations, sports clubs, as well as taking preventive actions in nightclubs and major music and dance events are also stressed, in a way to promote healthy initiatives. Frequently decentralised, organised at local level in collaboration with the local autorities and the civil society, whit a short duration, they address to youngsters and other target groups. Specific prevention projects aimed at tackling the poly-drug use and the abuse of licit substances (alcohol, tobacco, doping substances and medicinal products) are more and more implemented in all Member States. Member States agree on the effectiveness of school based drug education programme, but only a few countries (France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain, and UK) have clear references to illicit substances and their effects inscribed on the schools curriculum. 3.1.1.3 Could you describe the way your country allocated resources for positive alternatives to drugs for youngsters, in particular in socially deprived urban areas? Member States have many projects on positive alternatives to drug use specifically targeted on older children and adolescents in disadvantaged urban areas, namely through the creation of youth consultation centres that provide recreational, sports and educational activities with job counselling. The budget allocated to these prevention projects came from different sources: health, youth or social services, youth organisations as well as local projects supported by local authorities. Sweden gives precise details on amounts allocated. 3.1.1.4 Could you mention and describe briefly a particularly innovative approach to the prevention of the abuse of synthetic drugs developed in your country? Member States are stressing their concern for the increasing popularity of synthetic drugs in the European Union and underline the importance of school-based programmes and information campaigns aimed at young people, but also on the internet, in all media, as well as dance clubs and music festivals. The distribution of informative material, the implementation of risk reduction measures at parties, pill testing and cooperation with owners of night clubs, medical staff and police are also mentioned. 3.1.2.1, 3.1.2.6, 3.1.2.7 Has your country developed outreach work and/or easy accessible services for drug users? Which steps were taken to increase access and availability of services designed to reach drug abusers who were not integrated or covered by mainstream services? Please describe these briefly. Which were the strategies for vaccinating drug users against hepatitis A and B? Several Member States have adopted integrated policies for risk reduction which propose low-threshold services, such as programmes for syringe exchange, condom distribution, access to substitution treatments and drug consumption rooms. Certain high risk groups such as addicted pregnant women, homeless people, prostitutes and prison inmates can benefit from specific programmes. Vaccination against Hepatitis B, prevention and treatment of contagious diseases linked to intravenous drug abuse has been recognised as priorities by all Member States. 3.1.2.2, 3.1.2.3, 3.3.1 Please report briefly on any awareness raising campaigns carried out on the dangers related to drug use as well as on major programmes on the reduction of risks and consequences related to use. Do the actions target all age groups, in particular children and young people? In what sense have these campaigns been innovative and have made use of new means of communication such as, for example, the Internet? All Member states underline the importance of information/awareness campaigns on drug related risks and organise regular campaigns in the media for the general public, as well as specific ones directed at target groups. Campaigns aimed at specific substances (cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy...) are also mentioned. The spread of hotlines on drugs and the use of internet in the field of demand reduction seem to be increasing in all countries. Sweden gives a number of examples of messages aimed at young at young people in different campaign contexts. Finland mentionnes a specific emphasis in the use of internet in drug demand reduction. 3.1.2.4 In which way does your country ensure that enough attention is paid to drug related issues in training and education of doctors, social workers and other professionals in the health and social sector? Are they included in the curricula of the education of these professionals? Training of teachers, social workers, health professionals, and law enforcement representatives is a priority in all Member States and budgets have been allocated for this purpose. In several countries (Ireland, France, Germany, Portugal), specialisations in addiction, alcoholism, , and new substitution treatments are organised within the context of university courses. 3.1.2.5 Has any research been carried out in your country about the effects of driving under the influence of illicit drugs and pharmaceuticals? If yes, could you please summarize the results which could be relevant for policy decisions? Several Member States (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Finland and UK) announced having undertaken research on driving under the influence of illegal substances, or in association with alcohol and/or medicines. In many cases legislation was reviewed and controls and sanctions reinforced. On the other hand, even though testing for alcohol is compulsory, testing drivers involved in accidents for narcotics is not yet systematic. 3.1.3.1 Which are the types of treatment services for drugs users, and measures to assist severely dependent individuals, including measures to reduce the health related damages provided in your country? Please describe briefly In accordance with their national situation and legislation, Member States have diversified drug care systems, which can include day-care centres, detoxification units, therapeutic communities, substitution centres, aftercare programmes and special units in prisons. Frequently carried out at local level and in collaboration with NGO's, they are directed towards different age groups, gender specific needs and drug dependent people in different stages of dependence. Some Member States have also underlined the existence of drug consumption rooms and programmes of medical heroin delivery (Belgium, Germany). 3.1.3.2 Which are the average waiting periods for accessing treatment in your country? Member States indicate that, after investments in treatment services mainly at local level, there are no waiting periods for accessing treatment other than for residential treatment and substitution treatment. 3.1.3.3 Has your country defined guidelines for the standards and goals of treatment services, and ensured the evidence-based evaluation of these treatments? If yes, please briefly describe the outcome. Does your country have a national protocol on treatment assessment? The majority of Member States has not developed models for the systematic and global evaluation of drug treatment. However, scientific research on the effectiveness of the proposed measures is undertaken using the monitoring of drug-addicts under treatment (among other indicators). 3.1.3.4 In which way does your country ensure that adequate attention is paid to the social and professional integration of former addicts? Please describe briefly the most relevant measures adopted in this area, including any projects implemented under the Community Programmes between 1999 and 2003 The professional and social integration of drug addicts, considered very important by all Member States, is promoted in co-operation with NGO's, local authorities and the business community, to provide for educational programmes, vocational training and special employment opportunities for ex-addicts. The Netherlands and UK underline the programmes aimed at tackling this issue within the criminal justice system and the measures to prepare the drug misusing offender reintegration into the labour market. 3.2.2 Have the resources for research into the biomedical and social causes of addiction, prevention and behavioural patterns of drug consumption been modified during the reference period? Several Member States indicate that they do not have exact figures for functions allocated to drug research, by the government departments, universities, NGOs, and research institutes. Nevertheless, they stress the importance of studies on epidemiology, public health and social sciences in achieving a better definition of public policies. 3.2.3 Has your country identified new areas where it is considered useful to implement actions at the European level to contribute to reduce drug-related harm? New consumption trends, international and trans-border cooperation are areas generally identified as deserving greater attention within the EU. 3.3.2 How has your country addressed risk behaviour and addiction in general, including aspects of alcohol, medicine, substances used for doping in sport and tobacco use? Member States' strategies and policies are increasingly geared towards addictions in general, linking licit and illicit drugs, with special measures concerning alcohol, tobacco, doping substances and abuse of medicinal products. Belgium also takes into account gambling and food dependency. 3.4.1.1 What programmes have been set-up in your country to promote best practices in the prevention of criminal activities linked with drugs, juvenile and urban delinquency? The prevention of drug related crime, juvenile and urban delinquency is a priority for Member States which have allocated funds for programmes based on in-service training of police and other prevention agents, information campaigns on drugs and measures for the development of a healthy lifestyle through sports, leisure and educational activities, acquisition of specific skills, implementation of peer groups, counselling/follow up, cultural activities, and treatment/counselling activities. In the Netherlands, the project "Communities that care", which involves civil society, aims to create a safe and liveable environment for young people. 3.4.2 and 3.4.3 Could you describe the mechanisms in place to provide alternatives to Prison (in particular for young offenders). Which measures have been foreseen to provide drug prevention and treatment services and, where appropriate, measures to reduce health damages in prisons and upon release from prison? In several Member States(Portugal, Denmark...), depending the penal system and on the basis of the voluntary acceptance of treatment, a large spectrum of alternative measures is proposed to drug addicts in order to avoid incarceration: financial penalties and administrative sanctions, community work, vocational training and follow-up, etc. In view of the high level of drug consumption in prisons, some countries have introduced risk reduction measures, such as vaccination programmes, needles exchange, drug free rooms, substitution treatments by methadone, etc. 3.4.4 Please mention the main examples of sharing with other Member States best practices on the handling of drugs addicts in the justice system. In what way were the results of the study prepared by the EMCDDA in this field considered by your country Some Member States refer to sharing best practices in the treatment of drug addicts in the justice system through active participation in the European Union Crime Prevention Network (EUCPN) and the European Network Drugs Services in Prison (ENDSP), as well as cooperation with other Member States within the EMCDDA and the Pompidou Group. The study of the EMCDDA is referred to by only few countries. 3.5.1, 3.5.2, 3.5.3 In view of the need to develop expertise in the prevention of drug use, has your country promoted the creation of co-ordinated qualification skills in this area? What has been done in order to encourage the development and implementation of a network of trainers and other professionals in the health and social sector? How have the best practices been promoted and brought to the attention of other Member States and the Commission? Training of prevention agents is deemed paramount in all Member States, although efforts must still be made to create formal qualifications. In the context of health promotion strategies, expert networks and specialised training centres have been established to ensure permanent training of the various prevention agents. Several Member States underline the role of the EDDRA and EMCDDA networks, of the Pompidou Group and of the HDG in the exchange of information on prevention. 4. Supply Reduction 4.1.1.1 Please indicate which measures your country has applied to ensure a high and uniform level of security at the external borders of the EU in relation to drugs. Within Member States the law enforcement services involved in combating drug trafficking are involved in close co-operation. This co-operation can take the form of joint groups of risk analysis, a network of "contact points" between the relevant services, special teams of police and customs officers, a "coastal-watch" programme involving police, customs and the maritime rescue service, memoranda of understanding and operational protocols between the relevant services. In order to ensure a high level of security at the EU's external borders, Member State law enforcement services use a range of equipment such as drug detection scanners, patrol vessels, and drug detector dogs. Member States also refer to the training provided to law enforcement personnel in combating drug trafficking. Co-operation also takes place between the law enforcement services of different Member States. For example, there are police/customs co-operation centres, joint customs operations, and participation in training courses by one Member State in those hosted by another Member State. The Convention on mutual assistance and co-operation between customs administrations (Naples II) is also seen to have potential as a tool for cross-border co-operation. 4.1.1.3 Has your country, taking into account the existing EU systems for exchange of information and working with other Member States in the relevant Council bodies, reinforced its efforts against maritime drug trafficking? Has your country organised training courses on the identification and surveillance of suspicious vessels, and have you established procedures for boarding and searching vessels? Has your country implemented the principles laid down in Article 17 of the UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances? If so, please describe briefly how this has been done. A number of Member States have indicated that they are in a position to operate in accordance with the provisions of Article 17 of the 1988 UN Convention against illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances or have incorporated Article 17 or parts of Article 17 into national law (Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands). Member States refer to a number of techniques used for combating maritime drug trafficking such as risk profiling, ship surveillance and vessel search techniques. Use is made of the maritime information systems such as MAR-INFO and YACHTINFO in order to exchange information on suspected drug trafficking and on drug seizures. Maritime co-operation between Member States has led to the capture of ships which were used for drug smuggling and the seizure of illicit drugs. Some Member States indicate that they have training courses in the field of combating maritime drug trafficking or such training is included as a part of the training provided to the relevant personnel (France, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands). One Member State (France) indicates that it has established a guide regarding the implementation of Article 17 of the 1988 UN Convention against illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. 4.1.1.4 Has your country, with the support of Europol, examined the means to combine forensic and law enforcement information in order to identify the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs and those involved in their production and trafficking? What are the results of this analysis? At national level, Member States combine forensic and law enforcement information in order to identify the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs. In, at least, one Member State (France) a sharing of databases between the relevant law enforcement agencies containing scientific information on synthetic drugs is to be developed. Many Member States emphasise the importance of the various EU projects aimed at identifying the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs such as CASE, Synthes-lab, EELS, EILCS, and CHEDDAR 4.1.1.5 Has the co-operation between police, customs and judicial authorities been improved in your country in the drugs field? Has your country participated in EU Third Pillar Programmes in the field of co-operation between these authorities? Please give details, in particular of the results and benefits of such programmes for your country. Member State police and customs services participate in joint enforcement operations and investigations against drug traffickers, joint training courses and have appointed police/custom liaison officers. Some Member States have permanent joint police/customs teams (France, Germany, the Netherlands). Greece refers to its Central Anti-Drug Coordination Body with police and customs representation and the UK refers to its Concerted Inter-Agency Drugs Action Group. Training courses and seminars aimed at improving police, customs and judicial co-operation at EU level have received funding from the European Commission under various programmes. In the Nordic Member States police and customs collaboration takes place within a specific framework PTN (Police and Customs Co-operation in the Nordic Countries). 4.1.1.6 Has your country implemented the project-based EU law enforcement strategy against transnational organised crime to combat drug trafficking? Please describe briefly. Techniques used to combat organised crime include surveillance, infiltration and phone-taping. Investigations into the activities of trans-national organised crime groups involved in the distribution of drugs have taken place. These investigations have involved the law enforcement authorities of several Member States. Member States also participate in relevant Europol Analysis Work Files (AWFs) such as Mustard, Cola and Genesis. 4.1.2.2 and 4.1.2.3 What measures has your country taken against money laundering? How does the analysis and exchange of information between your Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and other FIUs work? All MS have transposed into national law Directive 91/308/CEE of the Council of 10 June 1991 on prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and 11 (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the UK) have transposed Directive 2001/97/CE of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 December 2001 amending Council Directive 91/308/EEC. In addition, Member States have introduced new measures to reduce money laundering such as powers to oppose the execution of a transaction and increased powers for the control of travellers who import large sums of money. Council Decision of 17 December 2000 relative to the exchange of information between the Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) of the Member States provides a primary framework for the exchange of information between the FIUs of the Member States. 8 Member States utilise the FIU-Net as a means of exchanging information between FIUs. Individual Member States also exchange information with third country FIUs. This exchange of information often takes place under the auspices of signed Memoranda of Understanding which generally are developed in accordance with the principles of the Egmont Group. The Egmont Secure Web is also utilised as a secure communication network. Some Member States also refer to the 40 Recommendations of the FATF (Financial Action Task Force), the Council Framework Decision on money laundering, identifying, tracing, freezing and confiscation of criminal assets and the proceeds of crime and the Council of Europe Convention on laundering, search, seizure and confiscation of the proceeds of crime. 4.1.2.6 What type of training for customs and police does your country provide in view of combating the diversion of chemical precursors, including possibly the assistance of the Commission and EUROPOL? Law enforcement officers receive training in combating the diversion of precursors through stand alone courses or through courses related to combating synthetic drugs production and trafficking. Some Member States refer to the assistance provided by Europol in this regard. 4.2.1 Please describe the joint investigative units which have been established in your country between police, customs and other law enforcement agencies specifically responsible for tackling drug trafficking. Some Member States have permanent joint police/customs teams. Other law enforcement authorities may be represented on these teams. In other Member States joint police/customs investigations take place as the need arises. 4.2.2 Please describe the measures your country has taken, with the assistance of Europol where appropriate, to reinforce co-operation with other Member States against drug trafficking. In particular, please mention if any joint teams with other Member States have been established when dealing with drug trafficking between Member States. If no such teams have been established, please explain why this is the case. Co-operation between Member States against drug trafficking generally takes place through exchanges of information, joint investigations or law enforcement co-operation in border areas. Some Member States have established a joint police/customs team to combat drug trafficking on road and rail routes between them. 6 Member States (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK) together with Europol are involved in a European Joint Unit to combat serious criminal activity in the field of precursor chemical diversion. A number of Member States have transposed into national law the provisions of the Council Framework Decision on joint investigation teams and/or have ratified the EU Convention on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters or have indicated that legislation in place already enables the setting up of such teams (Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the UK). However, joint investigation teams, as provided for in the Framework Decision or the Convention, dealing with drug trafficking between Member States have not been established. Some Member States are involved in discussions with regard to forming joint investigation teams and giving their police and judicial authorities additional, more far-reaching powers to operate on each other's territories. 4.2.3 Please describe the measures your country has taken to promote regional co-operation with other Member States affected by similar drug problems. A number of Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain) have created police and custom co-operation centres on their common borders. Regional systems of exchange of information have been established by, for example, a permanent liaison bureau and the appointment of joint superintendents. Police officers from one Member States participate in police officer meetings of another Member State (Belgium and the Netherlands). In addition, a number of Member States have adopted a co-ordinated regional approach to combating drug tourism (Belgium, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands). The Nordic Member States are part of a regional law enforcement co-operation known as PTN with a significant focus on combating drug-related crime. These Member States and Germany are also part of the Task Force on Organised Crime in the Baltic Sea Region. 4.2.5 In what way does your country promote new investigation techniques, research and documentation of drug related crime? Member States use investigation techniques such as controlled deliveries, undercover agents, simulated purchases in combating drug trafficking and drug related crime. Some Member States have at their disposal tools such as a specialist research centre, a national network of drug experts and a computerised system for the collection, development and analysis of data on operations against the illegal traffic in drugs. A number of Member States refer to research carried out or being carried out on drug-related crime. 5. International 5.1.3 During the reference period, which Candidate Countries has your country supported, with technical assistance and/or finance where necessary, in their efforts to counter drug abuse and drug trafficking? Almost all Member States have provided assistance to the candidate countries in their efforts to combat drug abuse and trafficking. This assistance has taken a number of forms such as: Participation in the PHARE programme and in particular in twinning projects under this programme; Organisation of study visits and seminars and provision of training to law enforcement officers; The signing of bilateral co-operation agreements in relation to internal security matters; Funding to the Council of Europe's Pompidou Group in the framework of training in drug demand reduction interventions provided to Central and Eastern European countries; Provision of financial assistance to drug related projects in candidate countries; and Provision of technical assistance and equipment. 5.1.5 Has your country implemented the pre-accession pact on organised crime and extended it to all applicant countries? A number of Member States refer to the utilisation of the PHARE programme in the implementation of the Pre-accession pact on organised crime and to the Council working group with responsibility for overseeing its implementation. In the context of the Pre-accession Pact contact points have been established. 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 How has your country co-ordinated its projects in third countries with other countries, multilateral and international organisations to enable their assessment? In this framework, has the co-operation with multilateral and international organisations been strengthened where this would increase the effectiveness of the actions carried out? Member States provide drug-related assistance to third countries on a bilateral basis and/or through the UNODC. Some Member States (Austria, France, Germany, Sweden, and the UK) indicate that they co-ordinate their bilateral projects with other Member States, multilateral and international organisations. A number of Member States refer to the provision of information to the Commission on drug-related assistance to third countries. The Dublin Group and the "major donors group" of the UNODC are cited as primary mechanisms for co-ordination and for strengthening co-operation with multilateral and international institutions. In this regard Member States also refer to their membership of or observer status to the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the Pompidou Group of the Council of Europe, CICAD and the work of the Paris Pact initiative. In the context of co-operation with Latin America and the Caribbean some Member States refer to the Co-ordination and Co-operation Mechanism on Drugs between the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean. 5.2.4 What resources have been made available for third countries for the implementation of programmes and projects for supply reduction and demand reduction? In what way have the projects undertaken been reported to the Horizontal Drugs Group of the Council? Many Member States provide financial assistance to demand reduction and/or supply reduction projects in third countries. Most of these countries indicate that the Commission and the Council's Horizontal Drugs Group are kept informed of their drug-related assistance to third countries. 5.2.5 Please describe in what way, in relations with non-candidate and non-European countries, all relevant Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) instruments take full account of the aims of the EU-Drug Strategy. A number of Member States (Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK) affirm that in their relations with non-candidate and non-European countries in the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy they take account of the objectives of the EU Drugs Strategy. 5.2.6 Has your country drawn up an action plan on drugs co-operation with North Africa and implemented fully the action plans on Latin America and the Caribbean and Central Asia? No Member State has drawn up an action plan on drugs with North Africa. With regard to the implementation of the plans with Latin America and the Caribbean and Central Asia, Member States refer to the training, technical and financial assistance they provide and law enforcement operational co-operation. 5.2.7 Please describe the measures, if any, your country has taken to help non-EU countries and regions to develop their anti-money laundering systems A number of Member States refer to co-operation with non-EU countries to develop and improve anti-money laundering systems under the auspices of the Egmont Group (Belgium, France, and Greece) and to participation in the work of the Council of Europe's anti-money laundering programme PC-R-EV recently renamed Moneyval (Belgium and the Netherlands).
