Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2),

Whereas:

| (1) | At its meeting in Luxembourg on 28 and 29 June 1991, the European Council, approved the settingup of a European Drugs Monitoring Centre. Such a body, named the European Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (‘the Centre’), was established by Council Regulation (EEC) No 302/93 of 8 February 1993 (3), which has been substantially amended several times (4). Since further amendments are to be made, it should, in the interests of clarity, be recast. |

| (2) | Factual, objective, reliable and comparable information concerning drugs, drug addiction and their consequences is required at Community level to help provide the Community and the Member States with an overall view and thus give them added value when, in their respective areas of competence, they take measures or decide on action to combat drugs. |

Therefore, the Centre should be entrusted with the task of furnishing general information which will help to provide the Community and its Member States with an overall view of the drug and drug addiction phenomenon. This task should not prejudice the allocation of powers between the Community and its Member States with regard to legislative provisions concerning drug supply and demand. |

the introduction of structured forms of cooperation between judicial authorities, of mutual evaluation and of the collection of reliable, comparable information on the impact of criminal-law provisions based on European laws;

stresses that it is important also to respect the judicial balance achieved at the national level in penal matters; calls for the development of a measured approach to incorporating into Community texts the penal provisions necessary to ensure the effectiveness of Community law, whatever their nature, and calls in this context for closer cooperation with the national parliaments; invites the Commission, in collaboration with Eurojust and the European Judicial Network, to put in place feed-back systems on the application in the Member States of the criminal-law sanctions provided for in European measures; welcomes the initiative taken by the supreme courts of the Member States in meeting on-line to discuss subjects of common interest linked to the activities of the European Union, including the coexistence of European and national criminal-law provisions;

General considerations

| 1. | Considers that, in addition to legislative tools and means of redress, the fight against discrimination must of necessity be based on education, the promotion of best practices and campaigns targeting the general public and those areas and sectors where discrimination takes place; stresses that the fight against discrimination should also be based on an awareness of the social (and also the economic) impact of the phenomenon — an awareness that must be relayed by all levels of government, including local and regional levels, and NGOs (which the Member States should closely involve in their anti-discrimination policy); |

Considers that, after collecting data, the Member States are not prevented from taking measures in the interest of particular groups not covered by Article 13 of the EC Treaty who belong to categories at high risk of social marginalisation, such as individuals in the process of recovery from substance addiction, recovered addicts and former prisoners, i.e. individuals who are in the process of social reintegration;

| 7. | Deplores the fact that the Charter of Fundamental Rights has not yet been made legally binding, and requests that this situation be remedied; is insistent that when the Commission performs the stringent, systematic checks which it has undertaken to carry out in order to ensure that its legislative and regulatory acts are compatible with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, it should make a particular effort to detect any form of discrimination (either direct or in particular indirect) which various categories of individual could suffer as a result of such acts; considers that the Commission should carry out a discrimination impact assessment on every legislative proposal to ensure policy consistency across the Commission DGs; thinks that the Agency for Fundamental Rights should be closely involved in the impact studies carried out in this connection; |

| 9. | Points out that the concepts of ‘positive action’, ‘affirmative equality’ and ‘distributive justice’ reflect one and the same reality, the basis of which is an acknowledgement of the fact that in certain cases, effective action to combat discrimination requires active intervention by the authorities for the purpose of restoring a seriously compromised balance; stresses that intervention of this kind must not be regarded as a form of discrimination (not even as a ‘positive’ form) and that the concept of positive action cannot be reduced to the idea of a quota; points out that such actions may in practice take the most varied forms, such as a guarantee of recruitment interviews, priority access to certain types of training leading to jobs in which certain categories of people are under-represented, priority notification of job vacancies to certain communities and the taking into account of work experience rather than qualifications alone; |

| 11. | Is aware that the fact that certain groups are very poorly represented in certain categories of job may have the perverse effect of discouraging those groups from endeavouring to acquire the knowledge which they need in order to gain access to the jobs concerned, which leads to a vicious circle; strongly recommends, therefore, that the high level working group on ethnic minorities in the labour market, which is due to report at the end of 2006, pay close attention to this issue and that conditions be created which will enable all categories of individual to gain access to all types and levels of education and training, at all ages, starting from childhood, if necessary through the adoption of positive measures designed to enable disadvantaged groups to follow courses of study at school or university or to undertake training courses which would not otherwise be accessible to them; |

Collection of data

Need for supplementary legislation

| 22. | Greatly regrets the fact that, notwithstanding repeated requests by the European Parliament, the Commission is not planning at this stage to draw up comprehensive legislation to combat discrimination; recalls that better legislation does not only mean eliminating unnecessary legislation, but also developing legislation in response to strong political signals from the European Parliament; insists that a new legislative tool incorporating all the grounds for discrimination set out in Article 13 of the EC Treaty and having the same scope as Directive 2000/43/EC be submitted before mid-2007; |
