COUNCILREGULATION(EEC)No3677/90
of13December 1990
laying down measures to be taken to discourage the diversion of
certain substances to the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs and
psychotropicsubstances
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European EconomicCommunity, and in particular Article 113 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereason 19 December 1988 a Convention agains t Illicit Traffic in
Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances was adopted in Vienna,
hereinafter referred to asthe ‘United NationsConvention’; whereasthe United NationsConvention ispart of the world-wide effortstocombat drugs; whereas the Community participated in the negotiationof that Convention, showing its political will to act within the limitsof itscompetences ;
Whereasthe United NationsConvention containsan Article 12
concerning trade in precursors, i.e. substances frequently used in theillicit manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances;
whereasthe implementation of thisArticle repres entsa contribution
by industrialized countries to the effort requested from drug-producingcountries, which are generally much poorer than the former; whereasthe provisions on trade in such precursors affect the Community rulesin customs matters; whereas, on this basis, the United Nations Conven-tion was signed on behalf of the Community on 8 June 1989; whereas,
on this basis, the Council decided on 22 October 1990 to conclude the
United NationsConvention; whereasit isthusappropriate, in order toconcretize thispolitical will, to lay down Community ruleson tradebetween the Community and third countries;
Whereasthe provis ionsof Article 12 of the United NationsConvention
are based on a system monitoring trade in the substances in question;whereas most of the trade in these substances is fully legitimate;whereas documentation and possible labelling as regards consignments
of these substances have to be sufficiently clear; whereas it is further-
more important, whilst providing competent authorities with thenecessary means of action, to develop, in compliance with the spiritof the United Nations Convention, mechanisms which are based onclose cooperation with the economic operators concerned as well ason the development of intelligence gathering;
Whereas a system of pre-notification of consignments of certain
substances providing, under certain conditions, for the operations inquestion to be forbidden, appears most appropriate to the situation;
whereas several countries have already obtained very positive results
favouring thisapproach;
Whereasthe competent authoritiesof Member Statess hould have
comparable means of action; whereas it is indispensable, therefore, to
establish common objectives in the matter at Community level;whereas this aspect is essential with the completion of the internalmarket in prospect and in order to ensure the homogeneous applicationof the rules established; whereas it is also important, in this context,that each Member State provide for sufficiently dissuasive penalties;1990R3677 — EN — 01.07.2002 — 005.001 — 2

Whereas machinery for administrative cooperation should be provided
for both within the Community and with third countrieswhich are als oParties to the Convention; whereas it is advisable in this respect, as far
asthe competent authoritiesin the Community are concerned, to take
asa bas isCouncil Regulation (EEC) No 1468/81 of 19 May 1981 onmutual assistance between the administrative authorities of the MemberStates and cooperation between the latter and the Commission toensure the correct application of the law on customs or agricultural
matters(
1), asamended by Regulation (EEC) No 945/87(2); whereas
particular attention hasto be paid to the confidentiality of informationreceived or exchanged;
Whereas, in the spirit of the United Nations Convention, the Commu-
nity should contribute to efforts to combat drug trafficking by producercountries; whereas, in this connection, special machinery should be
introduced for monitoring the productslis ted in Table II of the Annex
where they are the subject of trade with those countries, despite the factthat in general these products give rise to much lawful trade; whereasthe cooperation of the countries concerned should be sought to ensurebetter monitoring of such trade;
Whereas, in order to examine possible problems concerning the appli-
cation of thisRegulation and to enhance itsimplementation and thedevelopment of administrative cooperation in the matter, it is desirableto provide that the Commission should organize specific meetings,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
