WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2460/95 by Freddy BLAK to the Council. Polish amphetamine in Denmark  


Official Journal C 319 , 18/10/1997 P. 0001 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-2460/95 by Freddy Blak (PSE) to the Council (1 September 1995)Subject: Polish amphetamine in DenmarkAccording to Interpol, large quantities of amphetamine are illegally produced in Poland and smuggled into, inter alia, Denmark and Sweden, where it is sold or distributed to the rest of the EU.Since combating drugs is one of the Union's main priorities, can the Council state what information the Europol drugs unit for instance has on the scale of illegal amphetamine production and what initiatives the EU intends to take not only to stop the smuggling but also to get rid of the illegal amphetamine production infrastructure in Poland?Answer (20 May 1997)Interpol's information on the production of amphetamines in Poland is confirmed by the Europol Drugs Unit (EDU). The manufacture of synthetic drugs in clandestine laboratories is a matter of particular concern.This problem was discussed during the meeting of Member States of the European Union with the Countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CCEE) and the Baltic States, organized in the context of the work of the Working Party on Drugs and Organized Crime.The Polish authorities have been following recent developments very closely and the law enforcement agencies in the countries concerned are collaborating bilaterally with the Polish authorities. Additional Liaison Officers from European Union countries are being assigned to Poland.The Polish authorities have received the cataglogue produced by the EDU (Logo Project) describing the external appearance of tablets seized with the aim of identifying likely distribution networks.The CCEE, including Poland, have been invited to attend the Presidency's seminar in Eindhoven on 28-29 April which will address means of tackling the production of and illicit trade in synthetic drugs.
