Objective of the consultation
Europe is facing fresh challenges in the field of illicit drugs - new methods for trafficking illicit drugs and their chemical precursors, rapid emergence of new psychoactive substances, and reducing the demand for drugs and the harms that they cause.
The European Commission has presented a strategy for the next two years to tackle these challenges in the Communication "Towards a Stronger European Response to Drugs", which was adopted on 25 October 2011.
