Eriksson, Herman Schmid, Seppänen and Sjöstedt (GUE/NGL ),
in writing.
(SV)
We are voting against this own-initiative report, since we are in favour neither of liberalisation nor of increased repression in the drugs area. The conventions adopted by the UN ought not to be amended by the institutions of the European Union. Each country should cooperate in reviewing the options for minimising drug misuse and ensure that there is fast and effective treatment to help individuals in their need to put drug misuse behind them.
