ENCOD COMMENTS TO THE EUROPEAN ALLIANCE ON DRUGS
In December 2008, the European Commission published a new EU Action Plan on Drugs, containing the idea to launch a European Alliance on Drugs in June 2009. This alliance should be a partnership of authorities and citizens aimed to “engage civil society towards the common objective of raising awareness, interest and concrete commitments on drug related risks”.
On 3 and 4 March 2009, the Commission requested the participants to the Civil Society Forum on Drugs to give their comments to the idea of the Alliance. Encod produced the following analysis based on various questions that the Commission had formulated.
