European Drug Monitoring Centre
artdoc February=1992

The EC Committee meeting in Brussels on 27 November 1991 proposed
the foundation of a `European Drug Monitoring Centre' (EDMC).
This Centre will collect, evaluate and distribute information
related to the illicit use and trafficking of narcotics. EDMC
activities will focus on the reduction of the demand for drugs,
an inventory of measures that have been taken on national and EC
levels, the advancement of international information and
coordination, and the elaboration of programmes to stimulate
drugs-producing countries to change to other profitable
activities by means of economic assistance and cooperation
programmes. The EDMC will further collect information about the
drugs trade in general, and a study is to be conducted on the
shadow `economy' that has developed around narcotics. The
proposal will be submitted to the council of ministers and the
European Parliament. The location of the EDMC has not yet been
decided.
