Greek Presidency's priorities and effectiveness of international conventions on drugs

19.2.2003

ORAL QUESTION H-0102/03
for Question Time at the part-session in March 2003
pursuant to Rule 43 of the Rules of Procedure
by Maurizio Turco
to the Council

The 'Priorities of the Greek Presidency for 2003' state that 'the effectiveness of existing international treaties on the control of narcotics production and trafficking, should be reviewed'.

 

As the first opportunity to review the effectiveness of the conventions will be the meeting of the UN Narcotics Commission in Vienna from 8 to 17 April 2003, how does the Council intend to propose a review of the effectiveness of the conventions?

 

Will the Council propose a future review of the relevant international conventions, or does it already intend to table proposals for changes in April? What progress has been made by the Council and its working parties on this issue?
